As part of our latest discussion of our company merger, we’d like to introduce the topic of workplace diversity as we enter this new environment. We are in the process of working our company expansion and my desire is that all of you take this as an exciting new venture, but we need your help!

We must always be conscious that we conduct ourselves in a
