The creation of the charity org, known as the HRTS Foundation, was announced by HRTS board president Odetta Watkins, HRTS board chairperson Dan Erlij and HRTS CEO Melissa Grego.“We share a common passion across our leadership and membership for creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive industry,” Watkins said in a statement. “Relationship-building, mentorship and education have always been at the heart of what HRTS stands for.
With the launch of The HRTS Foundation, we are adding another way our community can work together to have a real impact on shaping the industry’s future.” Officers for the foundation were chosen by a foundation committee created by HRTS to launch the organization.
