Honoring Diverse Voices

Growing Together with ACROSS: Reflecting On Our 2026 Events Thus Far

Throughout 2026, ACROSS has created opportunities for employees to connect, learn, celebrate, and grow together through culturally relevant events and observances. Each gathering has helped strengthen our workplace community by creating spaces where employees can share experiences, learn from one another, and celebrate the diverse identities, cultures, and perspectives that make our organization stronger.

Throughout the year, events such as Unity Day, Denim Day, Lunar New Year, the Eastern Slavic Region Celebration, and the All-Inclusive Cookout for Black History Month, among many others, have created meaningful opportunities to honor important histories, amplify diverse voices, and strengthen connections across our organization.

Through education, reflection, and shared experiences, ACROSS events help create an environment where employees feel welcomed, respected, and encouraged to participate. These gatherings remind us that our differences strengthen our community and that every person has a role in building a workplace rooted in inclusion, understanding, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who has participated, volunteered, shared ideas, or helped make these events meaningful. We invite employees to continue being part of ACROSS by attending future events, volunteering, or submitting ideas for observances and activities you would like to see in the future.
