Volunteer Work and Community Involvement

Partners for Human Rights, Co-chair 2009 – Present Floria believes diversity and human rights play a critical role in attracting the best talent, the greatest creativity, and smartest problem solving. Workplace productivity, living in harmony, achieving greater human rights for all is as necessary as breathing the air that surrounds us.

Diversity is the way we Think
the way we Speak
the way we Work
the way we Neighbour
the way we do Business
the way we Lead
the way we live and
the way we ARE
