KANSAS CITY, MO. (August 5, 2024)— Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) is thrilled to announce that Scott McAdams, SVP & Chief Audit, Compliance and Risk Officer, has been honored with an Executive Sponsor Recognition Award by The Global ERG Network, (previously the Association of ERGs & Councils). Executive Sponsors play critical roles in the success of their Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). They serve as strategists, mentors, advocates, problem solvers, and door openers. McAdams, who joined Blue KC in 2018, is one of only seven winners in the category. All honorees will be recognized at The 2024 Diversity Impact Awards ceremony in Charlotte, NC, as part of the 2024 Global ERG Network Conference.
“Fostering an environment that leads to a diverse and dynamic workforce is instrumental to my role at Blue KC,” McAdams said. “While it’s a thrill to be nominated for such a prestigious honor, this award reflects our wonderful team members, the unwavering support of President and CEO, Erin Stucky, and our entire executive leadership team. A sincere Thank You to The Global ERG Network for recognizing Blue KC!”
The 2024 Diversity Impact Awards builds on the long legacy of recognizing the impacts of Employee Resource Groups (ERG’s), Business Resource Groups (BRGs), and Diversity Councils. Using the ERG Strategic Impact Model, organizations are scored in key areas that drive results. Leveraging data from the application and feedback process allows these groups to articulate their impact with key stakeholders and provide an expanded opportunity for learning. When organizations participate year-over-year in the Diversity Impact Awards, the data provides them with a benchmark among competing organizations and the ability to chart or measure their own progress over time.
“This year’s award nominations continued to raise the bar! The results outlined in the applications show the power of engaging ERGs in business goals and embedding DEI strategies in business practices. We are inspired by the breadth and depth of impacts happening across organizations, and eager to celebrate with award recipients,” said Cile Johnson, Chief Business Officer of Talent Dimensions.
