Our Collective Future is based on an Inclusive Today

MJ DePalma, a resident of Bainbridge Island, Washington, understands the power of words in transforming lives. As the Senior Global Multicultural & Inclusive Marketing Lead at Microsoft, MJ’s role was influenced by a pivotal moment at a company-wide meeting when a senior executive spoke about the importance of inclusion for people of all genders, ethnicity, and sexual orientations. This inspired MJ to pursue her passion for creating an environment where people can be their authentic selves at work, leading to the development of an Inclusive Marketing framework and training program. MJ is also an active member of the Global LGBTQI+ Employees and Allies at Microsoft group and hopes to use her marketing skills to change hearts and minds in countries where being gay is a crime. MJ is proud to work for a company that values diversity and empowers employees to follow their passions while being their authentic selves.

To say Janet Evans inspired me is an understatement. I had the great honor of being in the stadium in 1996 when the torch relay took place and have fond memories of the torch being handed by Janet to Muhammad Ali. Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for having the opportunity to have Alex Honnold speak to my senior leadership group this morning. Alex was amazing: funny, articulate, open, humble, and very engaging. My group loved him and his presentation. Please let Alex know how much we appreciated him and his accomplishments, most notably his charitable foundation.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
