The Diversity Business Leadership Award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated exceptional personal and professional leadership within the business or nonprofit community, according to the nomination form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis person must have a track record of giving back to their community through the creation of economic opportunities, advocating for minorities and those in the protected classes in the workplace and\/or in business, or creating an environment for residents to become self-sufficient or successful,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n\n\n

Font-Guzm\u00e1n, who was hired to lead the Office of DEI in 2021, has made great strides in increasing the sense of belonging for all students at 黑料正能量. This progress is highlighted in a short-form documentary<\/a> featuring actor Dennis Quaid and airing in millions of homes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJackie has accelerated 黑料正能量\u2019s DEI journey,\u201d 黑料正能量 President Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman<\/strong> said. \u201cShe has equipped us in word and deed for how we can expand our horizons and belong together as a community of learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Font-Guzm\u00e1n said she was deeply grateful for the support and the opportunity to continue contributing to the community\u2019s journey toward inclusivity and belonging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis award is a testament to the extraordinary community at 黑料正能量,\u201d she said. \u201cMy efforts are built upon the foundational work of countless individuals who have advocated for and advanced DEI over many years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
