A message from Diane Schwartz and Mark Ragan

Dear Friends of Ragan,

As our nation grieves over the death of George Floyd and seeks to come out of this week’s demonstrations and protests more unified, our team at Ragan stands in solidarity behind Black Lives Matter. As an organization serving communicators whose critical role it is to share the authentic truths and stories of their brands and their people, we also are processing what is happening to this country before our very eyes.

The Ragan team wants to tell your stories and support your efforts. We will advocate for Black rights in meaningful ways. We commit to use our platform to ensure that people of color in our profession are heard and included. We want to learn more about the issues impacting, and infecting, our country, as well as your experiences.

It is our goal as a company for communicators to connect you with ideas and people to help you succeed. It is our goal as daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, and citizens, to endeavor to do better. We respect and embrace that our differences are what unites us.

Sincerely,

Diane Schwartz, CEO, Ragan Communications
and
Mark Ragan, Chairman of the Board,
Ragan Communications
