"The Equity and Diversity Award is a means of continuing to celebrate the commitment that AEJMC has to its students, to its scholarship, to its professionals," Toth said. "Truly we cannot communicate, we cannot explain, we cannot help to educate, to reform, to contribute to society unless we have an equitable and diverse message to share and we hope to build an equitable and diverse society at the end of the day."

Toth cited Greenlee’s many programs, activities and overall commitment to building a diverse community as reasons it was selected for the award.
