DEI Executive Exchange

The Buffalo Niagara Partnership’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Executive Exchange Program is a unique, practical program designed specifically for diversity and inclusion officers and/or the senior leader with the highest level of responsibility for diversity and inclusion. Applicants should also possess a demonstrated organizational commitment to diversity and inclusion initiatives and the ability to affect or influence change regarding these initiatives within their organization.

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Executive Exchange is open to Partnership members only, and group sessions are professionally facilitated with complete confidentiality. This is the only group in Buffalo Niagara where DEI professionals, from diverse industries and professional backgrounds, meet monthly to discuss ideas, challenges, successes and opportunities.

Experienced facilitators customize the program to give leaders in diversity and inclusion the tools they need to continue achieving their goals and objectives and overcome the unique challenges that they face.

The Exchange group includes up to 15 participants who meet monthly from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on a designated weekday virtually. The groups are formed specifically for the executives attending and customized by the group facilitator based on specific needs.

Members must be diversity and inclusion decision-makers at a private, public, or not-for-profit business in Buffalo Niagara. This program is ideal for leaders whose title specifically reflects diversity and inclusion, as well as those who work in fields such as Human Resources or talent management and who are responsible for diversity and inclusion initiatives.

The 10-month program (groups do not meet in July and August) is available to Partnership members for just $1,500, a fraction of the cost of similar leadership programs. Participants can renew on a yearly basis.
