A diverse and inclusive workplace is possible

“One of the Coalition for Christian Outreach’s (CCO)  core values is:  “We embrace God’s multi-ethnic Kingdom.”    As a Board we recognized that we could more effectively demonstrate this value.   We also realized that we did not have the expertise within the Board and we needed help.   Paul’s experience working with Boards and his expertise in Diversity made him the perfect choice for us.    His ability to help our Board have difficult discussions in a safe and constructive fashion was exceptional.   Paul’s approach was personal, structured and highly adaptive.  He  helped us create a vision for the future with very clear steps to get there.   Our Board has completely changed our view on Diversity while remaining true to our other core values in large part because of Paul’s deft collaborative approach.”

"It's been a pleasure working closely with Paul Tokunaga as we've engaged him and his colleague Phil Bowling-Dyer to construct a strategic plan to make shalom a living reality at all levels of the Gordon College campus. I have found Paul particularly helpful as he's drawn on his executive-level experience at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to assist me through some high level challenges. His combination of wisdom, clear and balanced thinking and savvy in diversity issues is rare. I highly commend him to my fellow college presidents and to institutional leaders everywhere." 

Michael Lindsay, Gordon College President
