DEI in the Crosswinds: What is the Way Forward?

YOUnify

Location: Online

Feeling caught in the DEI crosswinds? Even as many organizations are still ramping and enhancing programs to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, some business leaders and practitioners are encountering tensions between advocates and detractors of mainstream DEI approaches.

This 60-minute panel will explore questions like: What are some of the emerging perspectives on DEI? How has political polarization in America impacted internal DEI efforts within organizations? How can differing perspectives on DEI be reconciled? What is the way forward?

You won’t want to miss this engaging panel of experienced business leaders, each of whom brings a deeply earned perspective on DEI’s benefits, challenges, and future direction. You’ll hear a range of opinions that will challenge your thinking and help you forge an empowering path forward for your own organization.

Our Panelists include:

Karith Foster
Founder, INVERSITY Solutions

Cliff Kayser
Vice President, Polarity Partnerships

Jahmad Canley,
CEO, Diversecity
