We are thrilled to celebrate Tanya Nixon as the recipient of the Inaugural 2024 True Grit Award! 🏆 Tanya serves as the Director of Supplier Diversity at Aflac, where she leads the charge to create inclusive opportunities for minority-owned vendors to thrive in the procurement process. Through her work, Tanya helps drive diverse sourcing practices, ensuring Aflac fosters a truly equitable environment for all. Her leadership extends beyond her role at Aflac — as the Immediate Past WRMSDC Board Chair, she has been a driving force in advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of business. A passionate champion of diversity, Tanya is committed to breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for all qualified businesses to succeed. Her motto? "I don't care what we title it. Everyone who is qualified should be afforded equitable opportunity to bid for any products, goods, or services."
