TESTIMONIALS

“Taeler Hammond was a speaker at our 2023 Families and Communities Together Annual Conference. Ms. Hammond addressed our Leadership Council, a group of Executive Directors and Program Managers of community based organizations. The topic she spoke on was Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. She gave great examples of how to address DEIB at our community based organizations. She was well prepared for questions and situations asked of our members. Our Council gave great feedback and thought the presentation was very well rounded. As the program manager, Taeler was very responsive to our organization’s needs and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend Taeler as a speaker.”

“It is with pleasure that I write this recommendation for Taeler. I had the pleasure of meeting Taeler shortly after I started working for HUB International and was immediately impressed by her work ethic, passion for change management, strong interpersonal skills, and her dedication as a DEI change agent. As the founder of HUB's DEI network, Taeler invited me into the group immediately and did not hesitate to share the wealth of information that HUB has to offer from an Employee Resource Group and training perspective. Starting at a new company can be both exciting and fearful, so meeting someone like Taeler, early on, was important. Any employer will be lucky to have such a kind-hearted person join their organization. Thank you for such a warm welcome to HUB Taeler!!!
