โDiversity, equity and inclusion โ from race and ethnicity to gender identity and sexuality โ have become top of mind for businesses across the country over the last year. In an already diverse region, Greater Philadelphia companies have a wealth of talent from different backgrounds who are making an impact on the region and its business community through their leadership,โ said Lisa Dukart, Associate Editor of the Philadelphia Business Journal. โCelebrating that breadth of diversity, the Philadelphia Business Journal is proud to honor 25 diverse business leaders who have demonstrated success in their respective fields and made significant contributions through philanthropic endeavors.โ
โI am honored to receive this recognition from the Philadelphia Business Journal,โ said Tynes. โOver the past year, weโve seen a courageous conversation โ both talking and listening – across the region about social justice and inclusion. While the conversation may still be uncomfortable for many, itโs no longer taboo. Ultimately, itโs this conversation that fosters hope and a path forward.โ
