DEI In Action Series

March 25 – June 24 — 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Soaring to the Top: Raising Women Higher in Leadership
In 2021, we initiated the virtual DEI in Action Series to highlight leaders of all different backgrounds that are elevating DEI awareness around the globe in their own unique ways across industries. The series was a HUGE success, garnering 700+ viewers from all over the world! We host five-yearly events to celebrate Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month.
Despite the slow progress brought by equality movements, the harsh truth is that women still have a significant disparity in representation across leadership. During this DEI in Action series, prominent female changemakers will provide unique insights into how they have challenged the system and soared to the top by accelerating change in the corporate gender landscape.
