• To meet on a quarterly basis with the active participants and Alumni in the LCLD Fellows program to benefit from their insights and use them as a sounding board for new ideas and possible belonging and diversity-related initiatives.
• To doing all that I can to translate Workday’s VIBE and my own personal commitments to diversity, inclusion, belonging and equity into concrete and actionable initiatives for Workday’s Legal, Compliance & Corporate Affairs team.
