I had the opportunity to attend a luncheon in mid-January which focused on enhancing diversity and creating opportunities for all people within the public sector. Mrs. Lola Poisson Joseph, wife of the Haitian Ambassador to the United States, Raymond Joseph, attended this event. Mrs. Poisson Joseph told me that her husband wanted the men and women of the Coast Guard to know how much "He personally appreciated the Coast Guard's efforts as first responders to the earthquake tragedy. Their work is greatly appreciated and admired by all the Haitian people."
In the photograph, Mrs. Poisson Joseph is seated in the middle.
Ambassador Joseph is planning to attend the Coast Guard's Diversity Leadership Summit which will occur from 20-22 April 2010 at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, VA. The purpose of the Summit is to further educate our internal and external stakeholders on the benefits of inclusion, equity, and respect for people of all backgrounds. It will be an honor to host Ambassador Joseph at this wonderful event.
