Committed to Equality » IN 2019, THE CITY OF GREEN created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee. The committee has engaged in open discussions on various disabilities, community policing and the importance of creating opportunities for all minority groups, along with other topics, according to Henry Johnson Jr., committee chair and facilitator. Green Local Schools (GLS) has had a member of its administration on the city’s DEI Committee since its inception. In addition, GLS also has its own DEI Committee that meets monthly to plan activities and events for the school year, such as an Antibullying Week in October, a Thankful for Diversity event in November, and more, according to Joya Mitchell, director of student services at GLS. Several major businesses in Green, including FedEx, also strive to promote the committee’s values. “Our commitment to innovation and quality is fueled by our inclusive culture,” says Ramona Hood, president and CEO of FedEx Custom Critical. “Being an African American woman raising two African American women, it is inspirational for my daughters. One day, my oldest daughter asked me if I was breaking the ceiling. Having that surreal moment with her made me proud to be part of an organization that values diverse thoughts.” — SW
