Huge thanks to our Black Employees Network for an inspiring #BHM2026 event. In these complex times, inclusive leadership isn’t optional. It’s essential. We still have barriers to break, but these conversations help move us closer to the inclusive organization we aspire to be.

We had important discussions with GAC employees at yesterday’s town hall. It’s a challenging, but exhilarating, time to do this work. I’m confident we have the people, skills and expertise to meet this moment our country faces.
