We remain committed to taking affirmative steps to “level the playing field” for all businesses. Strong Board support, firm commitment from our CEO, and focused and aggressive outreach efforts continue to be the cornerstones of the success of our non-discrimination programs. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for program enhancements.
