Join us in celebrating #Juneteenth today as we reflect on this date in history and the importance of equality and freedom for Black Americans #JuneteenthNationalFreedomDay
At AmerisourceBergen, we celebrate individuality, welcome unique perspectives and are committed to supporting our diverse team of 22,000+ associates across the globe. In honor of #PrideMonth, we are celebrating members of our LGBTAllies employee resource group – a network of colleagues and resources to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender associates and allies. The group promotes initiatives that align with our vision of maintaining an inclusive and welcoming workplace. “Pride Month is a significant month for me, as it reminds me of how the LGBT community struggled and continues to struggle with injustice in this world. There is still work to be done, as there exists many countries where it is illegal to be LGBT today. Pride Month is a time to celebrate accomplishments within the community, but also a reminder to continue actions to achieve ultimate equality for all.” – Paola Jarvis, Sales Executive, LGTBAllies Chair

There will be beads and flags…and rainbow masks. But I will miss the collective embrace of a quarter million people celebrating Pride together, including our coworkers. We will be #distantbutunited in Pride.” – Laurie Kozbelt, Director, Quality, Xcenda LGTBAllies Chair
