I am excited and honored to moderate such a timely conversation. We know that in recent months, it’s been almost impossible to separate “DEI” from backlash in headlines. High-profile companies have publicly scaled back their diversity efforts, seemingly bowing to mounting criticism. Others have begun reframing their initiatives, moving away from terms such as “diversity” and “equity” in favor of less politically charged language. As we plan for DEI (or whatever you are calling it) in 2025, this is a great platform to begin the discussion and to share strategies being implementing to stay the course. Come engage in the conversation...remember, there is power in number. #WhatsYourStory #GottaDoBetter #StayTheCourse #PurposeDriven #ConversationsFirst #CultureChange #PersonalConnection #BuildingTrust #LeadingFromTheHeart #ResultsDriven #InclusiveLeadership #Humility Angela Cafarelli Hillary Miller Lora A.
