CMAA of Southern California’s Post

Women represent just 42% of the professional services industry's workforce, with only 32% in leadership positions. But change is happening! As we come to the close of this March, we take a moment to reflect on our International Women’s Day theme ‘Inspire Inclusion’, and how we can take this beyond just the day, by investing in diversity and inclusion. Mentorship and sponsorship programs, supported by action are key to creating pathways for growth and empowerment.

Embracing #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion (DEI) isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Tailoring initiatives to meet the unique needs of different individuals is key to fostering true progress. By engaging people and asking what support they need to thrive, we can ensure #equitable access to opportunities for all. Recognizing that some #DEI topics may be sensitive or culturally specific, local initiatives can have a real impact where global programs may fall short. Let's champion DEI efforts that honor diversity and empower every individual to succeed.

On this International Women's Day, we honor the voices of the women at Apex Trials by Nutrasource, embodying the essence of #InspireInclusion. Here's what #InpireInclusion means to some of our staff: Ainsley Arreza : What inspiring inclusion means to me is creating an environment where everyone is not only heard but listened to. Having an uplifting space, where all ideas and perspective are nurtured and equally considered, encourages productive conversations and allows us to learn from one another and bond as a team. Ann Anton: Inspiring inclusion on International Women's Day is about fostering a space where women, including myself, feel not just acknowledged but truly appreciated for our individual strengths and perspectives. It means breaking down barriers, ensuring equal opportunities, and creating an atmosphere where every woman can confidently contribute and thrive. Arpita Patel: We are all different, which is great because we are all unique. Without diversity, life would be very boring. Jeannie Quiambao: Today and every day, let's celebrate the incredible contributions of women to society. Happy Women's Day! Katie Keene: As a #ClinicSupervisor, inspiring inclusion to me means ensuring everyone has a chance to be a part of change and growth. By having good leaders and leading by example, it's important to offer opportunities to voice opinions and suggestions, and freedom to showcase strengths. Rica Cserei-Costa: Inspiring inclusion means acceptance of diversity to me. Every woman has something positive and unique to share and learn from each other. Taylor Manning: Inspiring inclusion means recognizing the inherent strength in embracing the diverse experiences, voices, and contributions of women. When we foster a culture of empowerment and unity, everyone thrives. By embracing the strength of each staff, we cultivate an inclusive environment that empowers us all, today and beyond. #IWD2024 #inspireinclusion

Inclusion isn’t up for debate In this picture, there's a noticeable absence: the voices of women. Imagine the wealth of untold stories and unique perspectives that could enrich our boardrooms and business councils if inclusivity were embraced. What if, instead of excluding women, we actively sought their inclusion in shaping our future? Imagine the transformative impact of hearing from women leaders, bringing fresh ideas, empathy, and a commitment to collaboration to the table. It's time to challenge the status quo and create spaces where everyone, regardless of gender, has a seat at the table. Embracing inclusion unlocks the full potential of our collective wisdom, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow. Women’s inclusion should be the standard by which we measure progress. Remember, it begins with you. Happy International Women’s Day #InspireInclusion #IWD2024 #HappyIWD

Happy International Women’s Day!    Today I’m making time to reflect on the invaluable contributions from women to me personally, business, society, and the world at large. And it also reminds me of the inequities that still exist. Some of them maybe even my doing.    This year’s theme is inspiring inclusion, reminding me of that “when we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world”.    To learn more about inspiring inclusion this International Women’s Day, see the link I’ve included in the comments. #internationalwomensday #inspireinclusion
