Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a significant rise in conversations, commitments, and actions centered around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). In 2023 and 2024, this momentum was driven by honest dialogue, lived experiences, and a growing collective acknowledgment of systemic gaps in our workplaces and communities. Now in 2025, the challenge and opportunity lie in taking these efforts deeper—restructuring and embedding DEI into the core DNA of our organizations and ensuring it evolves beyond moments of urgency into a sustained, strategic priority.
How do we ensure DEI doesn’t become a trend of the past, but a resilient and future-forward part of how we lead, collaborate, and grow? What organizational strategies are proving successful in today's climate, and how can we collectively share in the responsibility of leading lasting change?
This follow-up conversation builds on the momentum we started in 2023—it’s not about starting over, but about refining, sustaining, and scaling the work. It’s about building inclusive systems, navigating resistance, and continuing to ask the hard questions. If your organization is feeling a plateau in progress or seeking practical ways to re-energize its DEI journey, this conversation is for you.
Join us for our June Candid Conversation, where member companies will share how they’ve evolved their DEI work over time, what’s working now, and the real challenges they still face. Let’s learn from one another, challenge each other, and recommit—together—to driving meaningful, measurable, and lasting impact.
