We would like to celebrate the newest OIE Culture Champions: Andrea Henriquez and Mary Alice Allen. They both have completed cohort 8 of the Inclusive Leaders Academy. Read more about this cohort's experiences here.

ILA plays a vital role in cultivating a supportive, respectful, and engaged community. It advances the Institute’s values for thriving on diversity and nurturing the well-being of our community members. ILA usually requires that participants are managers. Thanks to our partnership with ILA, an OIE cohort of both managers and non-managers can apply.

Thanks also to all current OIE staff who have completed the Inclusive Leaders Academy in previous cohorts: Amy Bass Henry, Ashlee Toomey-Flinn, Bryony Higgins, Caroline Cully Garbers, Jonathan Rivera Perez, Kate Kirk, Lorie Johns Páulez, Sarah Scott, Shamecia Powers, Thao Duong, and Tina Rousselot de Saint Céran.

Nominations for cohort 9 will begin early this fall.
