Wafa Dubashi has been named an honoree of the fourth annual IDEA (Inclusion Diversity Equity Awareness) Awards.  These awards recognize those who stand out as champions of diversity and inclusion in their workplaces and the community.

The awards are presented by Buffalo Business First, along with platinum sponsors M&T Bank and Phillips Lytle LLP. Twenty people and five organizations were chosen from about 100 nominations and will be honored at a dinner February 15 at Salvatore's Italian Gardens.

While diversity represents demographic differences such as race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and disability, inclusion means a feeling of belonging and how well employees are valued, respected, accepted and encouraged to participate in an organization.
