A message from our Chairman, Brian Hetherington and link to a great article- "While policy changes are important to diversity and inclusion initiatives, the changes can't stop there. Company culture needs to change and there needs to be growth at every level. In order to amplify positive changes and reduce any unintended negative impacts, leaders have to focus on connecting and communicating with their employees more." #HR #Diversity
Have a safe and amazing Fourth of July
As a company, we are committed to learning more and educating ourselves about the history of racism in America. We are recognizing our role in anti-racism and want to use Juneteenth as a day to acknowledge and celebrate a major milestone in American history – the abolishment of slavery. As such, ABD is proud to announce the adoption of #Juneteenth as a company holiday. Join us by using this day to reflect on our past and build towards our future. Visit hellajuneteenth.com for more information and resources to take action.

We are deeply saddened by the recent events that have taken place and led to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless others over the past weeks, months, years and decades. Racial injustice not only impacts the Black community, it impacts us all – our team members, clients, vendor partners, neighbors, friends and family. It is the responsibility of everyone – Black and Non-Black individuals – to speak up and speak out against social injustice Join us by taking action: -- Reading and signing a petition to bring justice. Here are two that matter right now, George Floyd: https://bit.ly/3eG7DGw and Breonna Taylor: https://bit.ly/2zRaWMn -- Donating what you can to a racial justice organization: https://bit.ly/3eGJmjQ. ABD and the ABD Executive Committee are making contributions to #BlackLivesMatter: https://bit.ly/2zHXJpi We feel it is imperative that we use our voices collectively to stand up for what is right because it is the right thing to do. Let's all play a part in making a change for the better.
