Praise for Diversity and Inclusion Matters

      “As a Diversity Officer, implementing DE&I programs can be challenging. Having known Jason and worked with him, his insight and knowledge on DE&I will provide CEOs an understanding of how they can lead and support DE&I initiatives impactfully. This is a must-read for all working in the professional world.”

      —Dominic F. Martinez, EdD, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Office of Inclusion and Outreach, Undocumented Student Services; Assistant Professor, Department of Family Medicine, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

      “Since I have known Jason, diversity and inclusion have always been of utmost importance to him in every professional leadership role he has held. This book is only an extension of him making those important lessons of how to shift your organization through diversity and inclusion accessible to everyone.”

      —Kimberly Morgan, DE&I Sr. Director, GOJO Industries

      “I first met Jason when our company hired him to develop and implement a DE&I program. His expertise, coupled with clear and practical advice, was instrumental in the development of our program. Diversity and Inclusion Matters is a much-needed roadmap for any corporation looking to implement a state-of-the-art DE&I program.”

      —Beth Pauchnik, RN, JD, Senior Healthcare Executive

      “Jason's approach to activating DE&I within an organization is spot on. In Diversity and Inclusion Matters he outlines concise and clear guidelines on how to implement DE&I and maintain and create transformational change. As an entrepreneur with a longtime career in team management and organizational development, I highly recommend this for any leader who wants to really embed DE&I into the DNA of their organizations.”

      —Andrea Perdomo, Director, Economic Inequality Initiative, Uncharted

“As we all know, DE&I has been at the forefront of business as a differentiator, and yet there are almost no practical, real-world examples of how to implement an effective program. I liked the way Jason approached trying to change the organization culture by attending and speaking at comparable sporting organizations such as PGA, MLB, and the NFL.”

      —John (JR) Register, Mindsight Warrior; Paralympic Silver Medalist

      “I met Jason early on in my pharmacy career in 2003, and to this day, the positive impact he had on me as a person and professional is everlasting. Jason was always a safe place to ask questions regarding my position and the expectations. Jason was committed to diversity and inclusion before it became a buzzword, and he represents a wealth of knowledge and experience.”

      —Leticia (Tisha) Smith, PharmD, BCACP, Assistant Director of Ambulatory Clinical Pharmacy, Denver Health

      “The continued drive towards DE&I in health care is an imperative to our success and future. Jason always impresses with his unique approach and practical applications. His insights allow you to tailor a DE&I program that aligns with your company's culture. This book is an excellent tool for your team!”

      —Avilla Williams, Vice President Clinical Services, Integris Health
