Celebrating Women’s History Month
March is Women’s History Month. This month serves as a time to honor the achievements and contributions that women of all backgrounds have made throughout the history of our country, both by remembering those who paved the way in the struggle for gender equity and by recognizing the history-makers and barrier breakers of today.
With a staff that is over 60% women, we understand the universal value that gender equity brings to our staff, our organization, the people we serve, and our community. Bolstering a more diverse workplace is a key priority because more than half of the 37,000 people that we serve are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) women.
By advancing a diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility initiative across the organization, we are nurturing the role models women and women of color need to advance in their careers. We also look to promote from within, then lean into our community to recruit talent. Staff with aspirations to transition into leadership roles are given access to programs designed to strengthen their capabilities.
Shout out to all the strong, compassionate women who work at S:US! They dedicate their careers to serving others, and we thank them and our entire workforce today and every day.
