Group 1001 Celebrates Women's History Month
Group 1001 proudly celebrates Women’s History Month, recognizing women's invaluable contributions throughout American history.
For the second year in a row, we kicked off Women’s History Month at the racetrack. We featured 800+ women employee names on the NTT IndyCar Series No. 26 Gainbridge® Honda driven by Colton Herta of Andretti Global and the NASCAR Cup Series No. 7 car driven by Justin Haley of Spire Motorsports. Also, the names of a select group of women in financial services with Delaware Life, a Group 1001 company, were featured on the NASCAR Cup Series No. 77 driven by Carson Hocevar of Spire Motorsports.
Throughout the month, we have partnered with our Women's Employee Resouce Group (ERG), Women with Drive, for several programs and events:
FairWays to Leadership: Anna Alvarez Boyd, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and an accomplished author dedicated to empowering leaders to excel in navigating the complexities of corporate and government environments, has offered her book to Group 1001 employees.
Pacers Game: Employees are coming together for networking and camaraderie during a Pacers game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Dress for Success Clothing Drive: Employees can participate in a clothing drive for Dress for Success, an organization dedicated to empowering women to achieve economic independence.
Indy Women in Tech (IWiT) EMPOWERIndy Expo: Employees can attend the IWiT EMPOWERIndy Expo on March 5 to network and build connections. Indy Women Tech, a Group 1001 partner, inspires women and girls of all ages to pursue STEM-related employment in Indiana.
These events are an extension of the impactful work we are doing to foster a company culture of diversity, gender equity, inclusion, and innovation.
