Diversity Action Coalition Inc. with Julie Reyes

Join us this Sunday afternoon on the Special Needs Family Hour at 1:00 pm! Our guest is Julie Reyes, Diversity Action Coalition, Inc., Founder & Executive Director.

The Reyes Family relocated to Tampa via the US Army.  Her husband, DJ, proudly served over 33 years of active duty with multiple combat deployments and retired as a Colonel.  As a military family, they have moved many, many times in the past years; and upon DJ’s retirement, the Reyes family was happy to finally put down their roots, 7 years ago, in South Tampa, Florida!  Julie has been in the nonprofit arena for over 25 years in Leadership, Logistical and Board roles, volunteering endless hours with a variety of non-profits.

In 2016, Julie saw the need to start Diversity Action Coalition, Inc. (DAC), a registered  501(c)(3), to fill a gap and highlight the LOCAL need for Inclusion for All, and collaboration amongst amazing local organizations, community partners, families and individuals.  Their philosophy is simple…”We are all more alike then we are different…”  We are not defined by our labels at the moment, nor are we limited.  We are Engaged, Empowered and Connected.  We don’t just talk about things, we take ACTION to move forward with positive change, as we navigate our individual journeys.  We are empowered and engaged by sharing great resources, connections and information.
