Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Executives Council

As we begin a new decade, organizations and their leaders are confronted with numerous challenges. Fully understanding and engaging all of an organizations’ talent is directly tied to leveraging opportunities for growth and marketplace success. To that end, the goals of this council include:

Gaining a deeper understanding of how different regional business conditions affect the work of global inclusion executives
Shaping and sharing best global DEI strategies
Articulating and acquiring additional competencies for effective DEI professionals today and in the future

Our conversations help to break down outdated norms and contribute to member companies’ ongoing success.

Member Experience

As one of the founding members of the Workforce Council on Diversity in 1993 I have witnessed The Conference Board transition from an organization that was learning about diversity and inclusion to one that considers these concepts an integral part of their identity and brand.

Although I have found the most enrichment and professional growth from being a part of my Council, I have also had the benefit if being able to exchange ideas and information with leaders from all of these teams through The Conference Board diversity conferences and workshops throughout the year. When the new Chief Diversity Officer for The Conference Board is in place, I look forward to seeing us take things to a whole new global level of thought leadership and dialogue.
