Citation Award Dinner


“This is an amazing honor not only for me, but for our whole organization. I’m wildly supportive of NCCJ, whose work around diversity and inclusion is proactively addressing one of the most important issues of our generation.”
— Dennis W. Quaintance, CEO, Quaintance-Weaver

“I look at our community, our workforce,
our world. In the health system, our patients speak 110 languages. We have to build understanding, a common ‘language’ that helps us bridge differences
in today’s world. NCCJ is a vital organization
in our quest to build an inclusive community
in the Triad, and Carolynn and I are honored to
help NCCJ accomplish its mission.”
— Tim Rice, CEO, Cone Health
