The Port Authority of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, earlier this month hired Fonda Duse to serve in the authority’s newly created position of director of diversity and inclusion.
Duse will implement and lead an agency-wide equity and inclusion strategy and program development; analyze current programs and policies to present recommendations for improvement; and develop training programs to enhance employee understanding on inclusion issues, authority officials said in a press release.
"The creation of this role was a critical step toward identifying, addressing and improving equity within our organization, and it will not be the last,” Chief Executive Officer Katharine Kelleman said. “Through Fonda’s work we will initiate meaningful change that we hope will foster a safe, supportive and productive environment for all of our employees and the community we serve.”
Duse has nearly two decades of human resources experience. She has created, developed and implemented diversity and inclusion initiatives for 11 organizations in five different industries, including transportation, authority officials said.
The port authority operates the 26-mile light-rail system in Pittsburgh.
