Hi everyone, my name, is romer gonzalez, I'm part of the commercial team as an econ executive for latin america. I've been at vida for about almost two years, I'm originally from venezuela and I'm currently living in new jersey.

And we are the leads of the diversity, inclusion and belonging advisory board and romer's going to tell you a little bit more about the board now, yes,.

The div board assists in implementing global diversity, inclusion and belonging strategies, policies and initiative. We partner with leadership for their support in implementing diversity and inclusion efforts. We also support the tmrgs and their singular and collective initiative.

And we've got a number of initiatives that we've been working on over the last year and are moving into this year. I will go over a few of them and then more we'll give you a rundown on the last two. The uh first thing that we've been working on is getting a newsletter off the ground which we've gotten.

We've got our second one coming out soon, and this promotes uh vib initiatives throughout the organization, um both within the tmrgs and at a larger level, and this is also something that we are having distributed internally as well as externally, via blog posts on our unfiltered blog post channel.

We are also working implementing allyship programs, as well as overall allyship training for folks that work within gitlab and also providing that to the external audience, and we are also working on creating some suggestions for recruiting throughout the organization um when it comes to diversity, inclusion and belonging, particularly in leadership roles.

As part of this initiative that we are doing right now and all the team emerges are doing by themselves, we are collaborating between htmlg. The idea is part of our work. Our value is the collaboration, so we are embracing the collaboration within all the team emerges in order to provide results and be more efficient, as well as helping the new tmrgs, such as diversity, diversibility, latinx and deli national understanding.
