"Congratulations on publishing a very informative and interesting publication. Profiles in Diversity Journal has allowed me to do instant benchmarking as you have featured many leaders in the field and they have shared much of what they are doing to move diversity forward. I was also impressed when you asked me to share our story in regards to the employment of people with disabilities. So many times this population is left out in diversity conversations. I have shared articles with colleagues at other companies and they have also been impressed and have found these sharings useful in the work that they do. Your publication can be a great tool for diversity practitioners at any level, from someone just moving into the area or a seasoned professional."
