CADIA RevUp and 2025 Impact Awards
A Day of Community

RECAP

Reginald E. Humphrey, Head of Community and Social Impact, General Motors Company set the tone with a powerful acronym that redefined “RevUp”:  Resilience. Energy. Validate outcomes. Unify ecosystems. Push for progress.  His words were a call to action, challenging us to not just show up, but to drive change across our organizations and communities.

Dexter Sullivan, President & CEO of the Black Legacy Advancement Coalition, delivered a keynote that stirred the soul:
  🔹 “Courageous leaders are our ERG Leads.”
  🔹 “Fear has no place among revolutionaries.”
  🔹 “We are never safe when we are complicit.”
  🔹 “We don't remember the words of our enemies, but we remember the silence of our friends.”
  🔹 “Strong minds build strong change.”
 His message was clear: the power of community is still resilient—and the time to speak and act is now.

 And Cheryl Thompson, CADIA’s CEO, challenged us to confront the shifting societal landscape. In a world where flexibility is too often viewed as a privilege instead of a productivity enabler, she reminded us that culture is not a bonus but a baseline.
