Diversity does not mean lowering the bar.

Exclusion is a competitive workforce issue both nationally and globally. Inclusion offers diversity in problem-solving, approaches to a problem – thereby adding to the creativity that spawns innovation. Diversity and plurality of views are important, and leadership plays a critical role in supporting and sustaining a culture of inclusion.
