In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

I was a major donor to a nonprofit charity. I expressed interest many times to become engaged in their mission but was denied. I wanted to have a voice on the board or on a committee but was told I wasn’t qualified. Nobody even asked what my background was. I guess they’re not familiar with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The executive director was very rude and unprofessional in her comments to me.
