“InspirAsian is a great community to build a network of support and understanding. It fosters a sense of unity and solidarity. This CommUnity Network isn’t just about celebrating differences in Asian cultures— it’s about recognizing our shared humanity and building a more united, empathetic organization and society.”

“Ross does a great job supporting not only veterans but also their families. The transition from serving your country in the military to stepping out into a civilian career can be scary and difficult. One of the things Ross does really well through their DE&I efforts is to support the conversation about what a veteran and their family can bring to the table and how that can be leveraged.”

“RossPRIDE hasn’t just been a resource for ‘out’ Associates. We have heard great feedback from Associates who aren’t fully out, or may be straight and cisgender but have close family and friends who are LGBTQ+ and appreciate that there is a community for them at work.”

“Diversity signifies that individuals of all races, genders, and sexual orientation are welcomed, accepted and celebrated. It’s important to celebrate diversity because our differences add additional perspective, depth and context to any activities that we engage in as people.”
