Long-time former head of TD Bank Group recognized by national LGBT+ business organization 

11/4/2016

Toronto, November 4, 2016 – The Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) has awarded its first-ever Icon Award to Ed Clark.

As President and CEO of TD Bank Group from 2002 to 2014, Clark was instrumental in making sure diversity and inclusion were part of the bank’s DNA. Internally, that meant acknowledging and supporting the bank’s own LGBT+ employees. Externally, it meant pushing the bank to actively engage with the LGBT+ community and reminding corporate leaders of the importance of inclusion and diversity in business.

“Our Icon Award recognizes an exceptional contribution to the advancement of the LGBT+ community through sustained action, leadership and business,” said R. Bruce McDonald, co-founder and Chair of the CGLCC. “Ed Clark is a true leader. He not only put his principles into practice at TD, he also encouraged other corporate leaders to take up the challenge of inclusion. Ed continues to speak about diversity and inclusion and is actively supporting LGBT charities and organizations. We are all better off as a result.”

The award will be presented at the CGLCC’s Black & White Gala, as part of the CGLCC 2016 Business Leadership Awards in Toronto on November 9.

It's a good thing that the former head of the TD Bank group has a clear understanding of what's right and wrong. He has no biased judgement towards the LGBT committee. There are only few people that have power and recognition within the world that respects the LGBT community. I admire him and hope that other people look up to him as well. Hopefully, this will spread awareness towards mutual respect between business organizations and the LGBT community.

Even in 21st century being what you are still remains a rescue thing requiring lots of courage and self-confidence. A writer's mission is to let the society know about what it takes. And if you don't know how to start, ask on alltopreviews.
