When I think about being a CEO and business owner, the people I get to work with are the #1 reason I do what I do. I love seeing our team progress, evolve, and take on new challenges. I love seeing people grow, and I LOVE knowing that their lives are just a little bit better because where they spend 40 hours a week (usually more) does NOT suck!

My motto that we joke about making our tagline is "Creating work that doesn't suck."

A mentor once told me "We work to live, not live to work," and I hold that statement as a guiding principle.

Today EXHIB-IT! received the New Mexico Family Friendly Business Award® at the highest level of recognition: Platinum!

Here are the criteria we met:
2 out of 3 in Category One: Paid Leave
3 out of 3 in Category Two: Health Support
4 out of 4 in Category Three: Work Schedules
4 out of 5 in Category Four: Economic Support
2 out of 2 in Category Five: Pay Equity
1 out of 3 in Category Six: Diversity & Inclusion
2 out of 2 in Category Seven: Community Investment

We have a lot of work to do when it comes to #deib. Perhaps as a minority, female business owner I forget that I need policies around this. I've been so turned off by fake DEIB policies that are just lip service, that perhaps I closed my eyes to what value there is in codifying our values in this area. More to come!
