CDR's Impact
What people are saying.
Candace is the woman who gets picked first for the team - with good reason. In addition to being incredibly smart and dedicated, she also brings a keen and compassionate understanding to the work she does each and every day. I have seen her now in several different aspects of life - personal, professional, political -and in every aspect she is a leader and a doer. We need more like her.

CA Search Advisors held a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Roundtable ("DEI") for our human resources clients seeking to strengthen and grow the current programs at their companies. Candace Dodson-Reed was the guest speaker and she gave a wonderful presentation getting to the heart of what DEI truly means. Candace shared her own story and experiences as well as many of the initiatives underway at UMBC. She made everyone on the call feel comfortable telling their stories and we found ourselves having this amazing open, honest conversation and getting to know one another in a completely new way. That is the essence of DEI: being willing and open to listen, share, and get to know one another in a way that acknowledges our similarities and is respectful of our differences.
