As such, we are considered to be a valued resource by the broader safety organization, the programs we support, as well as executive leadership. We also recognize that diversity is a strong component in product safety and we recognize that a variety of different thoughts, contributions, backgrounds and opinions are necessary in order to make the safest product we can.
