Meet Daniel Brock, Director of Operations at New Mexico State University and Communications Chair of the Native American and Aboriginal Council (NAAC) Employee Business Resource Group (EBRG) at Sodexo. Since joining Sodexo in 2021, Daniel has been an engaged member of NAAC. “NAAC has played a significant role in my experience with Sodexo,” says Daniel. “I firmly believe in its mission to promote the development of individuals from Native American and Indigenous backgrounds through education, recruitment, retention efforts, and the cultivation of partnerships via community service and mutual business opportunities. As an ally to Indigenous peoples, NAAC has been instrumental in helping me connect with Native American and Indigenous communities and learn from their diverse cultures." In his role as Communications Chair of NAAC, Daniel has built meaningful relationships and had the privilege of meeting exceptional individuals. “I’m truly grateful for the friendships I’ve cultivated through this program,” he adds. Daniel actively supports individuals of Native American heritage by mentoring young Indigenous leaders through the American Indigenous Business Leaders (AIBL) organization and by learning from Indigenous communities through participating in cultural events throughout the year. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #CommunityEngagement #DEI
