After the 2018 Who We Are presentation, leaders and others within the LHM Group were invited to a special panel to discuss the importance of inclusion and diversity in the workplace.

The panel was moderated by Kara Lawson, Olympic Gold Medalist and ESPN analyst, who was joined by notable leaders in the Utah business and education community, including Barbara Snyder, vice president of student affairs at the University of Utah; Cristie Richards, executive vice president at Zions Bank; Jeanetta Williams, president of the NAACP Salt Lake City Branch; and our own Linda Luchetti, vice president of basketball operations for the Utah Jazz.

Lawson asked each panelist hard-hitting questions about the struggles and challenges they’ve faced in regards to inclusion throughout their careers. Afterwards, the audience was allowed to ask questions. In the end, attendees gained a new perspective on how important it is to include everyone in company culture and in individual projects.
