Each year, the Diversity & Inclusion Committee grants this award by seeking its members’ input on candidates to consider for this honor. \u201cAs a peer-reviewed\/contributed recognition, I\u2019m even more humbled. When your own colleagues hold you in such high esteem it really is very sobering\u201d, remarked Dahlia as she discussed the honor.<\/p>\n

\nDevelops innovative methods for increasing and valuing diversity through wide-ranging activities
\nDemonstrates outstanding efforts to promote an environment free from bias and discrimination

As a Jamaican with a deep-seated love for her country of birth along with her recognition that strengthening families is part of her core value, Dahlia has created opportunities to best support Jamaicans wishing to pursue legal immigration to America.\u00a0 For over 16 years Dahlia co-hosts a weekly immigration program on Power 106FM radio in Jamaica and is a weekly columnist with the Jamaica Gleaner <\/em>\u2013 the Caribbean\u2019s oldest continuously published English language newspaper.
