Rewind: Watch ‘Your Voice, One Vision’

Did you miss the D&I Executive Council Townhall: Your Voice, Our Vision for employees on Aug. 25? You can now watch the session on why the foundational steps for a culture of belonging (our reimagined General Management System, new strategic plan, and values) matter to all of us.  

The event featured how this evolution is shaping up across the organization. Representatives from each group shared efforts: 

• Taryell Simmons, Department of Human Resources (FG3) 

• Susan Moore, County Libraries (LUEG) 

• Kimberly Giardina, DSW, and Keisha N. Clark, D.M./OL, Child Welfare Services (HHSA) 

• Jordan Furrow, Public Defender’s Office (PSG) 

And closed with an open engagement period to take a pulse on how the transition is reaching the work we do.
