We've been a little quiet lately. It's easy to say

We've been a little quiet lately. It's easy to say diversity and inclusion is important to our organization, we've been saying that for years, but it's time to put our words into action. There are some exciting initiatives coming up, but the last thing we want to do is make empty promises, or highlight our commitment to diversity & inclusion without actually changing anything. We appreciate your patience as we listen, learn and reorganize.
Ad Club Connected is far from over, stay tuned for when we return!
