About this Event

Business Equity for Indy's (BEI) People Community of Practice (PcP) exists to increase diverse representation within companies. Through PcP, hiring professionals have access to guidance and support as they look to attract, retain, and advance Black professionals.

Through BEI, Central Indiana's corporate community has united behind a shared goal of increasing equity. PcP aims to partner with those companies to identify, document, and promote best practices to advance Black professionals and other minority employees in their career trajectories.



Who is the BEI People Community of Practice for?

Any company wishing to educate themselves, share or find best practices, and engage with fellow Indianapolis/Central Indiana companies in ensuring a more equitable landscape for Black and other minority employees.

Available to all-size companies; panel discussions represent small, medium, and large enterprises.

Ideal for HR, DEIA, or Talent-focused leaders.



Event Program: Leaders Leading with Equity

The “Leaders Leading with Equity” event is crucial to BEI's broader vision. Instead of relying on policy documents, BEI is showcasing leaders who have lived experiences of equity woven into their daily work and organizational cultures. They’ve gone beyond the surface, listening intently to the community – from C-suite executives to individual contributors – and they have consistently identified individuals who are truly embodying what it means to lead with equity. This event will celebrate those leaders, shining a light on their efforts and demonstrating that meaningful progress is not just a possibility, but a reality.

This event will feature leaders from several prominent Indianapolis organizations, including:

  • One America Financial
  • United Way of Central Indiana
  • Cummins

These organizations represent a cross-section of industries and demonstrate that the drive for equity is a common thread across the city. BEI is actively engaging with leaders across Indianapolis, recognizing that true progress requires shared dedication and collaborative efforts.

The “Leaders Leading with Equity” event is more than just a celebration; it's a call to action. BEI hopes to inspire other organizations to examine their practices, seek out authentic leadership, and embrace the responsibility of building truly equitable environments where all can thrive. By showcasing the tangible positive impact of equity leadership, BEI hopes to accelerate the movement towards a more just and inclusive Indianapolis.



About Business Equity for Indy (BEI):

In the fall of 2020, the Indy Chamber along with the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP) in collaboration with the Indianapolis Urban League (IUL) launched Business Equity for Indy (BEI). Following a summer that witnessed a new level of awareness of the deep, racial disparities that continue to confront Central Indiana and the country, as well as a devastating pandemic, BEI was created to grow a more inclusive business climate and build greater equity and economic opportunity for the Indy region’s Black residents and people of color.
