DEIB Council Members “My Why”

As part of Celebrate Diversity Month, we asked our Accusoft team members to share their “My Why” statement. Below
we highlight some of the DEIB Council members’ “My Why” statements.
Ryan Calvin
For me, being a mom is the most rewarding job out there, but it is also a job that challenges me daily.
Challenges me to be and do better! My daughters are my why. I want them to have the confidence
to speak up when they hear and see inequities, to be allies, advocates, and leaders - being the voice
when others feel they don’t have a voice! I want them to appreciate that every human has special
gifts to offer and that uniqueness is powerful. I want them to know that they can do anything they
want in this lifetime…quickly shifting phrases of “I can’t do this” to “I can do this.” I want them to
understand the power of kindness, acceptance, empathy, and respect. Emma and Ashlyn are my why.
Raven Lanelle
DEIB is vital to me because it creates safe spaces/communities where all humans can connect and thrive regardless of
background, gender, race, ability, etc. It helps us all to be more aware of the experiences and needs of others.
Gabby Masiero
To me, DEIB is about fostering an environment where respect, dignity, and justice aren’t mere ideals, but foundational principles
guiding our interactions. Through DEIB, we cultivate love, comfort, and peace, ensuring everyone feels valued and heard. It’s
about understanding and embracing differences, allowing for adaptation and growth on both individual and collective levels.
DEIB strives to level the playing field, eliminating barriers, and promoting acceptance, creating a world where everyone can
thrive regardless of their background. DEIB is a commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable society where every
individual’s unique contribution is celebrated and honored.
My why is to help foster an environment
where those around me feel safe, supported,
and able to be their authentic selves.
Ren DeGroff
To better understand the struggles of others and help them feel comfortable with who they are.
John Armenia
DEIB is important to me because I want to work in a place full of diversity to make myself, my team,
my product, and this company the best that it can be. I believe that can only happen when we have
different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences represented and valued. I think it enriches
my understanding of the world and promotes the innovation and creativity that we need to sustain
and grow.
Crystal Hoecker
Lisa Joiner-Cummins
I want everyone to feel comfortable
and valued for who they are, inside
and out.

STRESS AWARENESS MONTH
Asking for help when you need is an act of courage! Please know that we have resources available
through our medical provider, Cigna.
Please see our behavioral resources HERE.
Stress is a natural response to life's challenges, but it can feel overwhelming sometimes.
Small steps towards stress reduction can make a big difference in our overall wellbeing.
Below are some examples of small steps that you can take to try to help create a culture of
self-care and stress management.
Time Management
Setting Boundaries
Allow Room for Mistakes
Start by assessing your
existing approach. How
good are you at
organizing your time so
that you get the
important things done
well? Can you balance
your time between
different activities? And
when you do make time
to do something, are you
able to focus – and get it
finished?
Boundaries are limits we
identify for ourselves, and
apply through action or
communication. When we
define what we need to feel
secure and healthy, when
we need it, and create tools
to protect those parts of
ourselves, we can do
wonders for our well-being
at work and at home —
which, in turn, allows us to
bring our best selves to
both places.
If you don’t make mistakes,
you also fail to try and take
risks. Succumbing to your
fears and letting it control
you, means denying yourself
the opportunity to explore
and thrive. As the popular
saying goes, these mistakes
are building blocks to
success. It supports you to
live your life to the fullest as
it replaces your fears with
strength and enthusiasm.
Did you know?
How people introduce themselves, expect to be introduced, and the number of parts their name consists of varies
around the world, uniting families and cultural groups. In the US, the first name identifies an individual and is typically
given to a person at birth. The last name is inherited and shared with other members of the individual’s immediate
family.
In other countries, such as China, the family name or surname comes first. Traditionally, babies are named 100 days
after birth as it is considered unlucky to name a baby before birth.
In Spain and Latin America, a child may receive two surnames when they are born: the first from the first surname of
the father and the second from the first surname of the mother. This naming tradition makes it possible for the
mother to never lose her maiden surname and therefore her name is carried on to the next generation.
Zulu (South Africa) names, also referred to as “home names” are often given regarding the situation of the family
when a child is born. For example, names can denote expectations and encouragement for a baby, reflect how the
family relates to others in the community, or describe the weather or setting in which the baby was born. People with
the same surname once belonged to the same localized clan. The clan name, or isibongo, functions now as the
surname.

April is recognized as Celebrate Diversity Month , which provides time to celebrate our unique cultures,
backgrounds and rich traditions that comprise us all. It allows us to appreciate our similarities and differences,
fostering a deeper understanding of others. Celebrate Diversity Month originated in April 2004, and since then has
helped us to understand and honor our similarites and differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual
orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, and other ideologies.
World Culture Day – April 15th
World Culture Day is celebrated on April 15th and aims to preserve the cultures of all countries and communities. World
Culture Day began through the announcement of an international pact and since then has helped to establish initiatives and
events that inspire unity.
Across 7 continents and 235 countries, it is said that there are more than 1,000 cultures, subcultures, and tribes. With each
culture comes a variety of languages, religions, literature, art, music, poetry, and philosophy. Some traditions unique to the
United States include Ground Hog Day and Mardis Gras. Take a look at some of the unique cultural traditions from around the
world: Top 26 Cultural Traditions Around The World
Celebrating what makes us
Clothing Around the World
In many cultures, clothing represents more than what meets the eye. Clothing can be a status of wealth as well as a
representation of celebrations. Explore traditional clothing from around the world, ranging from warrior headdresses to 16th-
century skirts with Google’s Arts and Culture exhibit.
Time to Eat
Think of the expression, to break bread with someone. This expression refers to the way that food brings people together.
Food is meant to be exchanged and shared with family and friends. Recipes may be passed down from generation to
generation or used to bring people together during celebrations. Cultures differ in the types of habits they associate with food.
For example, in some cultures, it is common to eat with your hands, while in others this may be considered rude. Sometimes,
finishing all of the food on your plate is considered polite, whereas, in other contexts, it signals to your host that he or she did
not feed you enough. Take a peak at some cultural dishes around the world: Best Traditional Food in the World.
DONATE TODAY: Child Abuse Awareness Month
In support of our corporate partnership, Accusoft team members attended the
Friends of Joshua House’s Child Welfare Benefit on April 11th. Here we were
reminded that the residents of Joshua House depend on the kindness of others.
Together as One Community, Join the Friends of the Joshua House and Accusoft to
support the kids at the Joshua House who have been victim to child abuse and
neglect. As a corporate partner to the Friends of the Joshua House, we have our own
donations page: here.
Every little bit helps!
Reminder: Earth Day – April 22nd
The first Earth Day originated in 1970 and is currently celebrated in 192 countries across the globe. Since then,
Earth Day has created awareness and continued efforts for changes in human behavior and global, national and
local policy changes. Some communities may be exposed to greater pollution and environmental health risks,
but with a combined effort, we can all contribute to preserving our environment and communities in which we
reside. We encourage you to participate in Earth Day volunteer opportunities within your community to help
create a cleaner, safer world for all.

Thanks to the generosity of our Accusoft

able to assemble 40 Easter baskets for
the kiddos at the Joshua House.

A Testament of our Impact
Thank you SO much for the amazing baskets
donated. We had a new child come in on Friday
morning to greet us (and peeked under our

FOR ME?! THE WHOLE BASKET?" so you guys
really did great in treating them.

Performance Reviews:
Living Our Values
With the unveiling of our new values, one
way we are operationalizing the aligning
behaviors is within our performance
management practices. Overall
performance is not just about the “what” you
do, but also the “how” you do it. The “how” is
equally important to the “what.”
