From MSM/GM Conference: Exchange Global Connection Contest and Safety Winners

The Exchange’s MSM/GM Conference closed Thursday, highlighting the winners of the Global Connection Contest and safety awards.

Equal Opportunity Employment Diversity & Inclusion’s contest helps main stores communicate the Exchange’s mission to support inclusive environments where diverse skills, perspectives and backgrounds are valued through in-store events and outreach programming.

“This year’s winners demonstrated what the EEODI wants an Exchange to embody: contributing to their community, maintaining their commitment to associates and making a positive impact to the bottom line at the same time,” said Associate EEODI Officer Valerie Wagoner.
