To celebrate this year’s Black History Month, The Diaspora, nCino’s employee resource group for employees representing the African Diaspora, has some great events planned! The heart of nCino’s celebration this year is “economic inclusion.” To kick off the month, The Diaspora hosted a social for local Black professionals to mingle, enjoy live music by a local Black artist and connect with diversity representatives from some of Wilmington’s most impactful organizations. Employees were also invited to attend a private dining experience with Chef Keith Rhodes, an award-winning Black chef, at his own Catch Restaurant. Later in February, The Diaspora, in collaboration with the Veteran’s Network, will host a screening of Devotion, the story of a Black U.S. Navy pilot, for employees both remote and in the office, and a panel discussion afterwards. As we wrap up Black History Month, nCino will also unveil a portrait of John C. Dancy, Jr., the influential Collector of Customs for the Port of Wilmington at the time of the 1898 Massacre. The portrait was commissioned by a Black artist last year and will be placed in its permanent home in Wilmington Headquarters as a way to memorialize his legacy. During this month, and beyond, nCino is committed to providing spaces where our employees feel seen and valued.

At ADP, we are excited about the Black History Month celebrations and programs – with the theme of “Igniting Our Power Through Education” – taking place across our locations!
Throughout February, we will look at the historical and present trends in traditional and non-traditional education related to the Black experience. We will start by speaking with the cast of “A Different World” to address the show’s impact, then and now, and the connection to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). We will also be digging into the effect that education has on the current business environment, as explained by a few of our strategic partners and how ADP is helping to support Black business growth. We have a “back by popular demand” presentation of a discussion between Nela Richardson, ADP’s Chief Economist, and Toshie Davis of the OneTen coalition, who will discuss Black Health and Economics. We are really excited about a multi-generational panel of African American ADP associates who will discuss their journeys to success. Lastly, we will have a session on Supplier Diversity led by Laurinda Thomas, Sr. Director of Sourcing, Global Procurement. Our CEO, Maria Black, will also have a special closing message to end the month and reinforce ADP’s commitment to supporting the community beyond altruism.
We invite all associates to participate in the conversation, whether sharing their own experiences, advocating as an ally, or listening and learning, as each of these roles is vital for progress. ADP fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace through open conversation and collaboration, and looks forward to a month of learning and celebration ahead.

In 2023 we’re focused on ways to keep the conversation active, rather than just a “one and done” communication on Black History Month. We’ve educated our employees on the racial wealth gap and took recommendations on Black-owned small businesses to support and shop local in February and beyond. We’re sharing biographies of Black senior leaders and board members to celebrate accomplishments and provide inspiration to others. We’re playing Black History Month Trivia bankwide. Later this month we’ll be introducing some Black History Month micro-learnings. Lastly, thanks to the sponsorship and planning of our People of Color Employee Resource Group, we’re welcoming Lawrence Funderburke, former power forward for the Sacramento Kings, to give a presentation on Black History and the perception of allyship.
