One of our strategic priorities here at SpartanNash is to create a People First culture where our Associates can do their best work and feel like they belong. As part of those efforts, I’m proud to say we’re expanding our focus from Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB). So, what does that mean to us? Diversity is a FACT – we are working to increase the representation of differences at every level in the organization. Equity is a CHOICE – it’s important to give everyone the tools that best fit their specific situation. Inclusion is an ACTION – we aim to foster an environment where Associates feel welcomed and valued. Belonging is an OUTCOME- when we do all of the above, Associates will feel their uniqueness’ are accepted at work and their voices are heard. We’re also encouraging our Associates to join our company Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) - Associate-led groups centered around common interests, backgrounds and experiences. These are a way for our people to come together around shared experiences and create a supportive network within the workplace. Thankful to Deann Wright for leading our DEIB journey and ARG activation and engagement. We’re excited for this next journey, and I hope you all join me in practicing DEIB in your respective organizations. #DEIB #ARGs #PeopleFirst

#Half_Decade_journey A Half-Decade Journey of Growth and Success It feels like just yesterday when I embarked on this incredible journey, but five years have passed, marked by numerous achievements and significant personal and professional growth. #Year_One: A Strong Start (2018) In my first year, I set the tone by earning two Employee of the Month awards and a Lagniappe recognition. Additionally, becoming a Certified BS was a testament to my commitment and dedication. #Year_Two: Certified Trainer , Spirit award -2019 The second year brought Spirit Awards and more accolades, including the Waterfront Lagniappe and another Employee of the Month honor. Achieving a Confident Pin and Certified Trainer status showcased my passion and ability to inspire. #Year_Three: Facing Challenges (2020) Year three was undoubtedly challenging, with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting us all. It was a year of resilience and a realization that harder work was needed to achieve my goals. The aspiration to become an NRO and support management in opening new locations became clear. #Year_Four: Professional Growth (2021) Entering the fourth year, I embraced professional Level-1 training and management training. Transitioning into a new role was both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. #Year_Five: Expanding Horizons (2022) The fifth year brought fresh excitement as I was part of the management team responsible for opening new locations. Joining GWU-1 as a batch speaker was an incredible honor, complemented by yet another Lagniappe recognition. As I reflect on these five years, I'm filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. Each challenge has been a stepping stone, and every achievement a testament to dedication and teamwork. While the journey so far has been extraordinary, I eagerly look forward to new challenges, opportunities, and continued commitment to excellence in the years ahead. In the end, it's not just about the awards; it's about the journey, the growth, and the unwavering commitment to reaching new heights. Here's to the next five years and the achievements they hold!
