 If you are comfortable recording a short video, please head over to MarketScale Studio and record yourself answering the question: “What does inspire inclusion mean to you?”. Once you submit your recording, MarketScale will edit the clip to include your name and title, so be sure to spell that out correctly before pressing submit.
