Today, we honor the legacy and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his impact on the Civil Rights Movement. A notable moment during the movement is the 5-day march Dr. King and fellow activists embarked on from Selma to Montgomery. This march advanced civil rights and symbolized the power of collective action and physical endurance in the pursuit of social justice. ? ? At Implus, our mission is to empower everyone to live active and healthy lives. In acknowledgment of Dr. King’s journey, our Diversity Council introduced the Implus MLK Day Walk Challenge taking place from January 15-20. Employees can participate by taking a walk over this 5-day period and logging their distance.? ? Our team is encouraged to take this opportunity to prioritize their physical wellness and reflect on the impressive efforts of Martin Luther King Jr. in driving change.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year! ?? From our Implus Team?
