"Cortex is the latest organization to publicly announce its intent to hire an executive to lead diversity efforts. BJC HealthCare, the region's largest employer, said earlier this month that it is seeking to hire a vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion, a role devoted to promoting and improving racial equity and inclusiveness at the regional health care system. Cortex and BJC's efforts are part of an emerging trend of organizations seeking chief diversity officers." Steph Kukuljan - Reporter, St. Louis Business Journal
