(Newark, NJ, September 26, 2017) – Diversity MBA, a national leadership organization integrating diversity and inclusion with talent management, has released its 11th annual list of Top100 under 50 emerging and executive leaders with advanced degrees. Making the prestigious 2017 list was Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ), Director, Government Affairs, Sarah Jones, JD.
“Horizon strives to maintain a work environment in which diversity and leadership are fully embraced,” said Alison Banks-Moore, Chief Diversity Officer at Horizon BCBSNJ. “We consider Diversity MBA Magazine’s recognition of Sarah as an honor for what Horizon has achieved with our approach to the hiring and professional development of our employees.”
Separating the list into emerging and executive leaders allows Diversity MBA to recognize both developing and seasoned leaders to bridge the gap in the talent pipeline by providing exposure to both groups. The recognition represents outstanding achievements in community, leadership and education.
“The nomination alone represents achievement and distinction for a lifetime.” said Pam McElvane, CEO, Diversity MBA. “This year’s list represents a more global diverse list of nominees. All of the dimensions of diversity are celebrated and recognized through these individuals. We are proud that the business community champions leaders that are unselfishly putting it on the line every day.”
Jones was recently honored and received her official reward at Diversity MBA’s 11th Annual Business Leaders Conference and Awards Gala in Oak Brook, Illinois. The conference featured expert speakers, seminars and engagement opportunities for building connections.
