DEI in Transition: Navigating Corporate Priorities in a Shifting Era

Are Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs merely remnants of a bygone corporate trend, or are they evolving to meet the challenges of a new era? At a time when some organizations are scaling back their DEI commitments while others are amplifying their efforts, this critical discussion examines the forces driving these contrasting paths and their broader implications for the future of equity in the workplace.

Join us for a thought-provoking luncheon at the Union League Club of Chicago as an elite panel featuring Ken Barrett, former Chief Diversity Officer at General Motors, and Susan H. Rider, partner at Scharf Banks Marmor tackles this pressing question. Collete English-Dixon of Roosevelt University will moderate the discussion. Together, our panelists will dissect the social, economic, and cultural factors shaping corporate DEI strategies and assess how these trends impact opportunities for women and minorities.

This program offers attendees the opportunity to gain insights from trailblazers in diversity leadership and philanthropy while participating in an essential dialogue about the evolving role of inclusion in business and society. Whether you're a corporate leader, a policy advocate, or a concerned citizen, this discussion will challenge perspectives and inspire action.
