Creating an Environment Where Everyone Can Thrive

“Engaging with the ERGs at NS, particularly all of the heritage month activities, has been impactful for me. We are not only learning more about our fellow employees, but we're also becoming allies for each other in the workplace. That type of enrichment and development benefits everyone and will no doubt make us a better company in the future.”

“Great leaders embrace diversity by surrounding themselves with people from various ethnicities, identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and beliefs. They recognize the strength in different perspectives and welcome those who challenge their conventional thinking. That's why DEI and our ERG initiatives hold immense importance. In my view, the quality of a company hinges on its leaders, and striving for Norfolk Southern to be filled with such great leaders should be our ultimate goal.”

“As this year's VeteraNS Employee Resource Group chair, I'm deeply honored to champion DEI and lead the way for positive changes at NS. Our focus on DEI, supported by the efforts of the ERG, enriches the workplace experience and empowers us to make a meaningful impact. Through philanthropic and educational initiatives, VeteraNS is dedicated to driving positive change both within our organization and in the communities we serve. Together, united as "One Team," we are committed to making our vision a reality.”
