ABOUT THE CEO FORUM

Partners in Diversity started more than 15 years ago when a group of CEOs and community leaders came together to create workplaces that are more diverse and inclusive. Every two years, the organization pays homage to its roots by convening CEOs, presidents and executive directors from member organizations and share ways to advance this work. It is a chance to gain new insights, learn from each other and brainstorm solutions to challenges.
