Around the World Cookie Festival Celebrates Diversity

Pinnacol values the diversity of our employees and every year sponsors diversity appreciation events including everything from guest speakers, to museum and photo exhibits, to Food Festivals. This last Wednesday Pinnacol celebrated diversity with an Around the World Cookie Festival.

Arranged through our Diversity Task Force, employees were treated to cookies from many different countries, from Ireland to Israel, Germany to Greece, China to Mexico.

Before the event I wouldn't have known a Ruggalach cookie from Baklava, but I do know that all the cookies were delicious!
