In our third installment of Lessons With Leaders, we featured Jonavan Smith, CFO of US Strategic Investments at OMG and Executive Sponsor of OMG's Black Leadership Network. Jonavan openly shared his professional journey, from starting as an Accounting Manager to becoming Chief Financial Officer. He provided valuable insights on navigating both successes and challenges as an executive leader. His inspiring message encouraged our audience of business resource group (BRG) members to lead with courage and curiosity, regardless of their role in the organization. Jonavan Smith shared, "Stay curious and don't get locked into a silo. Be accountable for your own growth and be intentional in your learnings and how you achieve your goals. There's so many resources and networks to tap into to get a broader understanding and different perspectives of OMG. That's how I was able to learn the business across the network." At the end of the session, we gifted each attendee a copy of one of Jonavan's favorite books, “And Then We Rise: A Guide To Loving and Taking Care of Self” by Common. #LessonsWithLeaders #BRGsAtOMG

While our offices were closed in celebration, OMG came together for the annual Juneteenth March 5K Run, Walk & Roll in Central Park. As we participated, we reflected on our strides and recognized the work that still lies ahead. We are grateful that our efforts will help support the building of the Harlem Center, which provides a safe and culturally competent environment, offering programs and services that foster a sense of community for LGBTQ+ residents of New York City, their families, friends, and allies. Thank you to OMG's Black Leadership Network (BLN) for organizing this amazing event, and further uniting our community through empathy, compassion, and purpose. We appreciate all who joined us and are looking forward to the 2025 Juneteenth March 5K Run, Walk & Roll. #BRGsAtOMG #BeOMG
