Our 3-Part Series
Discover the keys to taking meaningful action at the right moment and in the right manner. The titles 'ally' and 'advocate' are earned through dedicated work that positively impacts marginalized communities, rather than being self-proclaimed distinctions. In this session, we will provide practical guidance, outlining seven essential steps to enhance your effectiveness when you're needed most.
Join us for a panel discussion focused on the far-reaching implications of the recent SCOTUS ruling ending Affirmative Action in Higher Education. We'll explore how this decision resonates across corporate America and the ways in which businesses can stay resolute in advancing their DEI efforts within the framework of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategic initiatives. Our panelists will delve into the decision's impact on shaping future DEI goals and metrics within various industries. This moderated session brings together legal expertise, business leadership, and higher education insights to discuss both the realized and potential consequences of this significant ruling.
Is your strategy in alignment with your culture? In this session, we'll share a simple model to help you determine where your company is along the inclusive leadership journey.Pricing
