ADAPT's Mission

ADAPT (Accelerating Disability Awareness & Progress Together) provides a welcoming community for all employees, focused on advancing disability inclusion and building understanding of disability-related topics. The mission of ADAPT is to:

  • Foster a workplace where individuals with apparent and non-apparent disabilities feel supported, empowered and valued
  • Promote conversation, awareness, influence and action around disability inclusion
  • Ensure equal opportunity for all employees to thrive in creating possible at Gilead
As the Talent and Membership Lead for ADAPT, I have been fortunate to advocate for disability awareness, belonging and community within Gilead. Through this role, I’m able to leverage our initiatives to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment company wide. This has allowed me to connect with colleagues on a deeper level, understand their unique perspectives, and advocate for their needs. The experience has not only enhanced my leadership skills but also empowered me to drive meaningful change and acceptance within our organization and hopefully make a positive impact on my Gilead community.
