In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, B-ABLE developed a series of events, discussions, and activities to raise awareness and highlight the importance of accessibility in the workplace. In the spirit of “Empower Every Perspective,” we are highlighting B-ABLE advisory board member, Daniel Connors. Since joining us nearly 3 years ago, Daniel has established himself as a leader in his roles and involvement in our employee community. When asked what his favorite mantra is, Daniel responded, "When there is a will, there's a way. The reason why I love this is because people with disabilities are known for their resilience. Growing up as a deaf person with a cochlear implant, I had to constantly fight for myself to prove people wrong and that I could succeed at both school and work. You will be surprised how many times people have told me that I can’t be successful in what I do because of my hearing disability and speech impairment. " Daniel’s resilience has enabled him to succeed at Bloomberg Industry Group, and we couldn’t be more excited to see his continued growth and how his perspective and hard work enrich our organization! Learn more about Daniel and stay tuned for more employee features and programming from our employee communities! #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth

In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, B-ABLE, our employee resource in support of people with disabilities, partnered with Best Buddies International to host a career Q&A event. Best Buddies International is a nonprofit dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Thank you to all who attended, and a special thanks to the B-ABLE team of Melanie Goodall, Wayne Tolson, Chloe Fells, Daniel Connors, Luke Jackson, and Michael MacKay for spreading messages of inclusion throughout our office and beyond! #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth

Providing world-class customer service is one of our founding principles – and we deliver on that promise, thanks to our exceptional client success and engagement team. They go above and beyond for our customers every day. This #CustomerServiceAppreciationWeek, colleagues celebrated the team's dedication by sharing heartfelt messages of appreciation. Thank you, client success and engagement team, for everything you do!

We welcomed Mike Bloomberg to our office this week to give employees the opportunity to hear from him directly about the values that define Bloomberg – in particular, focusing on customer service and giving back to the community. He spent time with our sales and product teams where he heard about our latest innovations for Bloomberg Law, Bloomberg Tax, and Bloomberg Government, and he offered his perspective on building market-disrupting technology and delivering value to clients. We were all inspired by his journey, philanthropy, and words of encouragement.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, V!VA developed programming centered around the theme, V!VA Adelante, which translates to Live Forward. In the words of V!VA Co-Chairs Kate Azevedo and Johnnie Campos, “Our heritage events will showcase our cultural community allowing us to come together to better understand our past, while ultimately living forward to shape our future.” In the spirit of moving forward to build a better tomorrow, meet Angélica Serrano-Román. Since joining us in 2022, Angélica has brought a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to our team as a state tax reporter for Puerto Rico. Originally from the island, she has enabled our tax team to provide more nuanced and context-rich coverage of important tax issues impacting it. Her ability to incorporate diverse sources into her reporting has helped us to better connect with our audience and tell more inclusive stories. Beyond her work, Angélica is committed to giving back to the greater Hispanic community. As a faculty member at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she teaches journalism and mentors emerging reporters. Learn more about Angélica and stay tuned for more of V!VA’s programming for #HispanicHeritageMonth.

In recognition of Women's Equality Day, WOMXN hosted a speed mentoring event for attendees to share their experiences, how they've grown and advanced their careers, and the lessons they've learned along the way. The event is one of the ways in which WOMXN seeks to foster the well-being and resilience of people who identify as women within our community and cultivate a more inclusive environment. Equality starts with empowered women, and we cannot wait to see the impact of this event reverberate throughout our employee community! Thank you to WOMXN co-chairs, Tiwa Nwogu, Esq., Heidi Stryker, Betsy Mountenay, Irene Jung, and Annie Sheehan for making this event possible!

As part of Community of Hope's Back-to School celebration, we filled and donated 400 backpacks with school supplies for local elementary, middle, and high school students. "The backpack drive is one of my favorite BOB events! Because so many can participate, it's a manageable activity with a massive impact. I know firsthand that the power of education can change a child's future forever," said Antonio Thomas. This is the fifth year in a row that we have held a backpack drive benefiting Community of Hope's back-to-school event, and we are excited to continue to work together to build our community!

Our newest gift to The Johns Hopkins University ensures that the most talented aspiring doctors from all socioeconomic backgrounds can graduate debt-free from the The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. And to further address recent declines in U.S. life expectancy, our gift will increase financial aid for students from the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. We’re also increasing student aid for selected degrees at JHU’s other graduate schools. https://lnkd.in/eUCPQ7Wp
