Quest Diagnostics was recently recognized by the Executive Women of New Jersey (EWNJ) at the A Seat at the Table Corporate Gender Diversity Awards Breakfast.

Quest, a Gold Sponsor of the event, was honored for making the EWNJ Honor Roll, a list of 17 New Jersey public companies that have 35% or more women in senior governance positions. Of Quest's 10 board members, 4 of them are women, and we continue to seek opportunities to advance female leadership at all levels.

At the event EWNJ released their exclusive report on the number of women serving on boards and in the top leadership of public companies in New Jersey.

Leaders from our Inclusion & Diversity team and members of our Women in Leadership (WIL) Employee Business Network supported the breakfast to show our commitment to closing the gender gap in boardrooms and celebrate those who join us in this important initiative.
