Former Members of the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Team
I started with MAS in 2018 and have enjoyed it ever since. I volunteered to be part of the EDI council because I enjoy making a difference in others’ lives. Whether it's transportation or aiding with our online site or the many other inquiries that our callers have. Looking forward to many more years with MAS.
