Spotlight on You

Tami Erwin, vice president and chief executive officer of Verizon Business Group, recently sat down with the Wall Street Journal's Secrets of Wealthy Women podcast to discuss leading a global team remotely. Ms. Erwin explains some of the challenges of remote leadership and how she thinks women can propel their careers when they can’t see their managers face to face. "I think there’s something really special about face-to-face communication. We’re social creatures," said Erwin. "We’ll find a balance between the best of what we’ve learned from COVID-19 and the best of what we’ve had in the past that will give us a great environment that will be effective for everybody."

Odreanne' White, workplace solution officer II at BBVA, was featured on the cover of CEO-mother for her work as a real estate owner, mother, and successful trailblazer. On being featured, White said, “I was hesitant at first, but I remembered I have a purpose in life. This is why it is so important that we pay attention our actions. We never know who’s looking at us or up to us.”

Member Companies in the News

Delta Dental of California has released its 2019 Social Impact Report, detailing its efforts around philanthropy and volunteering; ethics and compliance; diversity, inclusion and belonging; and sustainability. "At Delta Dental, we believe in doing the right thing for our customers, providers, employees and communities," said Mike Castro, president and CEO of Delta Dental of California. "It is more than just an ethical focus; it motivates our efforts to strengthen the foundation of our business by updating processes and technology, driving innovation in products and experiences, giving back to our communities, and focusing on people and culture."

General Mills announced that its partner, Gunsmoke Farms, has received organic certification by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organics Program. Gunsmoke, a 34,000-acre farm outside of Pierre, South Dakota, had been managed conventionally for more than three decades before its transition to organic over the last three years using regenerative agriculture practices. “General Mills has been on our soil health journey since 2016 and working with Gunsmoke Farms solidified our belief that regenerative agriculture can be a transformative lever for farmers to be a part of the climate solution,” said Mary Jane Melendez, chief sustainability and social impact officer for General Mills. “This type of long-term, direct contracting is unprecedented for General Mills and the industry. If we truly aim to be a force for good, our role is to give farmers the tools to be more resilient – both environmentally and financially.”

The Verizon Foundation announced it is donating $300,000 to support immediate relief efforts across communities in California, Oregon and Washington impacted by wildfires, as well as hardest hit areas of Alabama and Florida impacted by Hurricane Sally. “While 2020 continues to be an unpredictable and challenging year across the country and around the globe, you can be certain we’ll be there to support our communities in a time of crisis,” says Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “We will ensure they stay connected when those connections matter most and help them get back on their feet.”
