Did you know that nearly 50 million people in the U.S. live with disabilities, making up the nation's largest minority? (U.S. Department of Labor) During Disability Pride Month in July, we recognize the achievements and experiences of the differently abled community. At Spark, our differently abled Employee Resource Group, SHINE, is a supportive space where individuals come together to uplift and amplify each other's voices, while celebrating what makes them unique.

June is #PrideMonth, a time dedicated to recognizing the significant contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals around the world. Among those making a difference is Mary Palmer, MBA, PMP, Spark's Sr. Director of Manufacturing Operations, Gene Therapy Innovation Center. As an ally, she chooses to give back by serving on the Board of Directors and Finance Committee William Way Community Center in #Philadelphia, and supporting the capital campaign to renovate their existing, historic community center (https://buildtheway.org/). This Pride Month, let's celebrate diversity, honor contributions, and continue to learn and grow together. https://www.waygay.org/
