CADIA would like to thank and acknowledge our founding board of advisors (2021- 2023) who helped shape CADIA, set us in motion for the future, and demonstrated to us the power of DEI.  Although the board no longer meets, we think it is important to share our roots and give credit to those who helped us gain momentum in the DEI space in the automotive industry.
