OC/PRSA Diversity Committee Testimonials

Companies who are inclusive in thought and strategy will thrive as leaders in diversity.
More employees are driving diversity and inclusion in their companies — it’s important
to recognize their voices and influence to help lead your company. Companies and PR practitioners who seek guidance in diversity and inclusion issues will succeed versus those who don’t.

---Danielle Alvarez, Boost Mobile Public Relations

“We can't ignore the fact that we live in a diverse world and it's important that every group is represented and has a voice within our industry. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and it was important that I be involved with an organization that is committed to increasing the visibility of diverse PR professionals and providing awareness on the importance of including diversity communications in PR programs.”
---Mariechelle Bonifacio, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers

“Without diversity we have no basis upon which to grow. Various cultures, ethnicities, age groups, religions, tastes and so on are the impetus that inspire us in all we do on a daily basis professionally, personally and spiritually.”
---Angela Burrell, Public Information Officer, Santa Ana Unified School District
