"Consider the following: If you were assembling a team for a project, would you want everyone to have the same skills and experiences? Of course not! You would want a diverse group of people with different strengths and perspectives. The same principle applies to a board of trustees. The board of the Helen Bamber Foundation, on which I serve, has members from diverse backgrounds, including board observers with lived experience. This helps us gain a wider range of ideas and insights, which ultimately leads to better decision-making and a more inclusive organisation. For example, a board that includes people from different racial and ethnic groups is more likely to understand the needs of the community it serves. A board that includes people with disabilities is more likely to consider accessibility issues. And a board that includes LGBTQ+ members is more likely to create a welcoming environment for all employees. In short, diversity on a board of trustees is a win-win. It makes the organisation stronger and more effective, and it creates a more inclusive and equitable environment for everyone."

Happy June! The month of June recognizes an important group in society with the celebration of Pride month. Pride month is a time to bring forth advocacy and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. It is time to come together to raise awareness and champion love and inclusion for all. With the acknowledgment of this month of special recognition, it creates an important discussion for our Via team on the importance of allyship. Allyship is a lifelong commitment that refers to the actions, behaviors and practices that leaders take to both support and advocate for others. Allyship is about progress, not perfection. It requires continuous learning, empathy and tangible actions. Our Via team is committed to growing and learning in order to actively support these marginalized communities. Allyship in the workplace is crucial for inclusion and equality. Cisgender/straight Americans can engage in this allyship through self educating and ensuring you are up to date on relevant topics and issues. It is important that you are aware as an ally of using the right language when speaking to or about marginalized groups in order for maximum safety and comfort. Allyship is about standing with others so we can grow to work through a more inclusive world.

PRIDE Month celebrates the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community and the dignity of individuals. It also reminds us that everyone's wealth has personal dimensions. At the Gibbons Jones Vogel Group, we understand that significant wealth brings unique challenges as well as opportunities to make life better for families and communities. Our team is proud to work with many successful LGBTQ+ clients. If you are LGBTQ+, your financial priorities may include philanthropy, long-term and elder-care concerns, and estate-planning services to protect a spouse or domestic partner and children. We can work with you and your other professional advisors to tailor wealth management strategies to your individual needs. Does your financial advisor understand the personal dimensions of your wealth? hashtag#GJVGroup Merrill, its affiliates and financial advisors do not provide legal, tax or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions.

As we celebrate Pride Month, it’s worth noting the significance of diversity and inclusion in the maritime industry. Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are focused on making sure everyone has the same opportunity to succeed. It’s not about disrespecting the contributions of others. It is about acknowledging and addressing systemic inequalities that have persisted over time. The goal is to create a more inclusive and fairer environment where everyone is valued and respected. Pride Month is a time to honor and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, recognizing the contributions and talents they bring to all sectors, including maritime. Diversity is essential for innovation and progress. By fostering an inclusive environment within Washington State Ferries and the maritime industry at large, we can better serve our communities and navigate towards a brighter future together.

Pridemonth is a monumental time of the year. It is a time to remember the remarkable equal rights journey the LGBTQ+ community has fought for decades. And it is a month where I personally take some time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country. Pride Month also serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and inclusivity in all aspects of our lives. For Corporations world-wide , it’s also a reminder that we need to hit the accelerator on making workplaces welcoming for all, year-round. #StaffWorQs, we firmly believe that businesses play a pivotal role in driving positive societal change and we will be a catalyst to drive such a change as we continue to create diverse and inclusive workplaces and foster innovation. generating tangible benefits for individuals #PrideMonth #PrideCelebration
