Kurt Merriweather, VP of Products and Innovation, followed with a presentation on the future of DEI. Jamie Ousterout, VP of Client Success, then led a client roundtable with Rekha Daniel-Kimani, Division Director, Total Rewards & Well-Being; People Care Center; Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, BAYADA Home Health Care, Sybil Stewart, Director, Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging, Abrigo, and David S. Cade, Executive Vice President\/Chief Executive Officer at the American Health Law Association.\u00a0 One of the highlights of the day was a series of breakout sessions led by The Diversity Movement team that enabled clients to exchange ideas, best practices, and confront the many challenges as they continue their DEI journeys. VP of Business Strategy Shelley Willingham ended the program with an overview of lessons learned and future opportunities as DEI programming becomes a core aspect of workplace excellence.\u00a0 Echoing Willingham\u2019s call to action, Thompson explained the importance of aligning and measuring DEI initiatives as part of the organization\u2019s bottom line, saying, \u201cAs DEI becomes more integrated with the business, it will become more and more aligned with the way other elements of your business are judged. We need to ensure that we have the best data architecture, business case, and results, so as DEI becomes more of a board and c-suite issue, we have data that demonstrates its value to leadership.\u201d The societal impact is a critical aspect of DEI work as well, said David S. Cade of the American Health Law Association. \u201cWe are behind where we should be as a culture\u2026the impact is beyond the organization.
