This May, we proudly celebrated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, led by our Network of Asian Professionals and Allies (NAPA) Community Resource Group (CRG). Through thoughtful events and new partnerships, we deepened our understanding of the diverse identities, histories, and traditions within the AANHPI community. Dumpling Days: Connecting Through Culture and Cuisine This year, the NAPA CRG chose to focus on dumplings as a way to honor the rich diversity of AANHPI cultures. While each culture has its own unique traditions, dumplings, whether they’re gyoza, potstickers, shumai, or momo, are a unifying symbol of family, celebration, and connection across many Asian communities. Food has a powerful way of bringing people together, and through our Dumpling Days events, teams in Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. gathered to share stories, recipes, and a deeper appreciation for the cultural threads that tie us together. Strengthening Our Commitment: A New Partnership with Ascend This month also marked the launch of a new corporate partnership with Ascend, the largest Pan-Asian business professional organization in North America. Through this partnership, we’ll collaborate on professional development, mentorship, and community-building initiatives in our D.C., New York, and Boston markets, creating meaningful opportunities for learning, growth, and connection.

At CrossCountry, we believe that the true strength of a community lies not just in what can be seen, but in the depth of experiences, passions, and perspectives each individual brings. Our people, with their vibrant personalities, varied backgrounds, and shared drive, are the foundation of our firm’s enduring success and the heart of our Better Experience. This Diversity Month, we took time to honor the many dimensions of who we are. We celebrated the traditions, talents, stories, and aspirations that shape our collective community — recognizing that inclusion is not about fitting into a mold, but about embracing the beautiful range of ways each person shows up and contributes meaningfully. Throughout the month, we invited our employees to participate in our #ShareYourIdentity campaign. The words and reflections they shared revealed a vivid tapestry of personality, talents, depth, and creativity. Their expressions reminded us that our greatest innovations and collaborations are fueled not by similarity, but by the multitude of ways we each interpret, move through, and impact the world. We also witnessed the power of open dialogue during the International Network of Women (INOW) Community Resource Group’s conversation on Being Your Authentic Self. By creating a space for genuine storytelling and allyship, INOW strengthened the sense of community that comes from knowing our full selves are valued here.
