Diversity Board Member

DONALD GROSS

Role: Manager Construction

Division: Central Texas

Years at PulteGroup: 19

Why I Joined the Diversity Board: “My reasoning for applying for the board was based off a couple of things one being showing my two young daughters that even if they are just one person, that when a group of like-minded people with passion for a cause, that they can champion for change.  And the other being a quote form Dave Chappelle who does a better job of putting it into words than I could.  Basically you don’t have to compromise who you are to be compassionate.

“Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them.  The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe, say or do.  Both are nonsense.  You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.” ~Dave Chappelle
