Mission: Complement the company’s efforts in encouraging diversity by enhancing the recruitment, retention and professional development of diverse associates.
Key Accomplishment: In recognition and celebration of Juneteenth, AABD hosted a company-wide, day-long conference, offering an education on the history and significance of Juneteenth. The conference featured several BD senior leaders, a Pulitzer Prize winner and industry experts, and included important conversations on critical race theory, Black health in America and how our inclusion, diversity and equity strategy is progressing through measurable action and accountability. This celebration and other cultural events help remove barriers, build understanding and create a culture of acceptance and inclusion.
“ARGs are essential to inclusion and inclusion and diversity make us a stronger team. Our ARGs advance the BD culture through forums connecting associates and lead us in ways to communicate about tough issues, while embracing a growth mindset. Their collective efforts help us grow together as a community of people working to advance our common goals.”
— Ami Simunovich, Executive Vice President, Chief Regulatory Officer and Public Affairs Interim Chief Quality Officer
