inclusive workplaces and communities.
Lebovitz added, “As shopping center owners and developers, our
properties are a hub for community activity and that connection has
always been a key ingredient to our success. The tools and
resources the CEO Action Pledge provides will allow us to deepen
that connection with not only our team members but with our
customers.”
