Mission: Foster a united community acknowledged for its unique cultural differences and the valued contributions that Hispanic/Latino associates bring to BD.
Key Accomplishment: Throughout the year, HOLA supported vulnerable Hispanic and Latino communities through their engagement at nearly a dozen outreach events. Notably, HOLA worked to ensure those in need had access to water during the summer heatwave in Tempe, Arizona, and created hygiene kits to distribute to families along the U.S. and Mexico border. Additionally, HOLA partnered with Toastmasters to offer its members in Latin America an opportunity to participate in the Pathways program to help support their career advancement and increase representation in manager roles and above at BD.
“I have a deep passion for supporting talent development and helping everyone achieve their career and personal aspirations. HOLA’s efforts to attract, retain and elevate Hispanic talent has driven tremendous value in all areas of the organization and advances their vision to build the future CEOs of BD. I am honored to serve as the Executive Sponsor.”
