Advancing DEI in our Workplaces is a forum for rising leaders who are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

Through weekly leadership conversations, the program  will examine five themes:

  • The Business Imperative for DEI (February 3)
  • Allyship, Bridge-Building, and Leading from Below (February 10)
  • Developing Inclusive Cultures (February 17)
  • Leveraging Diverse Talent (February 24)
