Testimonials

Mel became not only a colleague I respected, but also a mentor I could learn from as well as develop professionally to hone my leadership skills.

Mel’s wealth of knowledge and experience in the area of equity, and his quiet but determined efforts … is now opening doors for the next generation.

A natural leader who inspires others to greatness … a deeply respectful and compassionate person who approaches every interaction with curiosity.

Mel was one of my mentors … his encouragement and his belief in me kept me grounded, and his kindness made me believe in the best of things.

Mel was great at listening to the issues I was facing … and was able to provide great advice and perspective.

Mel is a valued partner that we can always count on to challenge us to look at issues from a variety of perspectives.

I walk away from my interactions with Mel with a higher level of self-awareness of the world around me. I don’t believe I can recall anyone who had had that impact on me.

Thank you, Mel, for everything you have done for me … you made the difference in my career.
