December Round Up
Highlight
At the TPCO Leadership Conference, we asked attendees to submit a word that first comes to mind when thinking about diversity, equity and inclusion. We received so many great submissions and created a word cloud to showcase all of the answers!
Remember to check out all the great things that the DEI Council and Employee Resource Groups (ERG’s) are doing by going to their website!
