Bio
Sarah Kate Ellis
Louis brings tremendous insight and commitment to the GLAAD Media Institute. He is a strategic driver of change and significantly helps us move the community forward. Sarah Kate Ellis President & CEO, GLAAD
Jocelyn Azada
Louis was an outstanding champion for diversity and inclusion in the time we worked together at Nielsen. He embodied owning diversity and inclusion in his work even though supplier diversity was not part of his official job description. With Louis' engagement and initiative, we were able to establish a baseline for diverse supplier representation within the universe of some of our company's most strategic third party partners. We would not have expanded our diversity visibility into this important part of our ecosystem without Louis' diligence. He has also been a personal advocate for diverse suppliers. His advocating on behalf of these suppliers is the real work of supplier diversity- identifying viable diverse suppliers, and introducing them to his professional contacts. For more than a year, he was on calls with client business teams, our procurement organization, and our global responsibility organization to foster beneficial and strategic relationships between our company, our clients, and the suppliers he worked with. He's a true professional, and a genuine pleasure to work with.

ECHO: A Vocal Language Program for Easing Anxiety in Conversation is for clinicians supporting individuals who may experience social anxiety related to speaking in specific situations, or with certain individuals. Anxiety has a negative impact on working memory, which can make it difficult for individuals to communicate with ease. With reduced experiences talking to a variety of people in various situations, speaking often becomes more challenging. The ECHO program was developed to build ease and comfort with social pragmatic communication, focusing on improving conversational skills for children from later elementary through teenage years. The program can be implemented by speech-language pathologists, psychologists, educators, and other facilitators (including parents), who support the needs of children and teens with selective mutism, stuttering, and those in need of social communication support. This unique intervention program combines methods of vocalization and verbalization to enhance conversational skills with role-play simulations for real-life application. Show less
