“The role of technology is evident. It's going to continue to have a larger influence in our lives. So I think we need to really ask ourselves and really look at each other in the eye and say, what is behind this code? What is behind these companies? What are the systems we have in place to check, and how can we as a community track progress and monitor progress as it relates to these technologies in the workplace.” -Josuel Plasencia, Co-Founder and COO of Forefront

“I think we often don't acknowledge how massive the upheaval that we're going through right now is. And I know we talk about that in terms of technology and the divisiveness of our country, but the generational upheaval that is taking place is unprecedented.” -Lindsey Pollak, multigenerational workplace expert + author
