How Vaco is Being Influential in Corporate with their Working Mom’s Collective

Vaco understands the significance of drawing the circle wider to broaden our perspective, to connect on a deeper level, and to be a force for positive change in our world.  This aligns beautifully with the GSD Factor attribute of Be Influential.  

 

On today’s episode of The GSD Factor podcast we are honored to have the co-chairs of Vaco’s Working Mother’s Collective, Taryn Dicken and Kelly Maxwell.  They will share the why behind this important ESG initiative and provide insights into how other organizations can enhance their own efforts.
