"It's vital for Delta to have an active, visible presence at the events that matter to our customers and employees in the communities where they work and live.

"Diversity is a key component of what makes Delta great. We strive to enrich and empower the lives of all of our employees and customers in the hopes that they will each realize their greatest potential."

The airline also supports employee participation in the Black Employee Network (BEN), the Women's Employee Network (WEN) and the Latin and Hispanic Employee Network (LAHEN).
