I want to welcome all of you to our first annual honors program. I am so thrilled that we’re able to bring a program of this significance to my hometown. I am truly honored to be sitting in the company of so many great corporations and individuals…
Really honored.
There are so many people I need to thank that have made this event possible. I won’t call them out individually, but you know who you are. My heartfelt admiration and thanks goes out to all of you. I’m so excited to have Mr. Stedman Graham and Mrs. Myrlie Evers Williams with us tonight. We struck it big having these Great Americans with us.
Also happy and grateful to Ms. Cassi Davis for taking time out of her business schedule to help us celebrate this evening.
Congratulations to the corporations that are being honored tonight. All of you are so deserving of this award. Thank you so much for your diversity and inclusion practices. It only makes for a better Mississippi. Thanks to everyone that bought tickets. I hope you enjoy yourselves tonight. If I can be of help to any of you, please don’t hesitate to ask.
