LeadDIVERSITY is a program in which a select group of professionals engages with community leaders and one another to raise the participants' awareness of diversity, inclusion, and equity issues, build their leadership skills and enhance their network. Each session is designed to help participants explore the concepts of diversity, equity, inclusion, and leadership and to analyze its personal, workplace, and community impact.
