This is great news Mary, thank you for sharing. However, I think 2 shareholders who took Apple to task about not having any POC in higher administrative roles. They even drafted a proposal to other shareholders that Apple attempted to block. https://mashable.com/2017/02/15/apple-diversity-shareholders/ The attached file shows an image of Apples very white senior leadership. I'm glad the shareholders took them accountable. On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 9:26 PM Mz.
