Following the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action, businesses, nonprofits, and academic institutions alike are grappling with how to prioritize inclusion both internally and through community or client-facing programs and services. Our panel of experts will provide insights into the current state of DEI, shedding light on best practices and strategies for fostering a culture of inclusivity in a shifting legal, political, and cultural environment. Attendees will hear firsthand from organizations that are leading the way in DEI, learning from their successes and challenges.

Join us for a dynamic discussion that will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of DEI in today's world. Discover what's now and what's next in the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and learn how you can drive meaningful change within your organization and beyond.
