IMPACTING POSITIVE CHANGE
Please join us for this special annual forum, aimed at helping our audience develop a deeper understanding
of how the impact of a well run DEI structure can improve operational performance while also enriching the
community.
WBJ's Diversity & Inclusion Forum serves to educate and inspire business and community leaders on how to deliver
meaningful cultural change and positive business results through their DEI work. In today's rapidly changing business
landscape, embracing diversity, equity and inclusion is a strategic advantage and a powerful driver for business
performance, growth, and innovation.
Our panel will feature an insightful discussion with seasoned business professionals who are navigating the journey of
fostering diversity, equity and inclusion within their organizations. Our panelists will share their insights, experiences, and
best practices for cultivating a workplace culture that values and respects differences, leading to increased innovation,
employee engagement, and business success.
Special Keynote Presentation:
JEFF FUHRER
Non-Resident Fellow at the Brookings
Institution and a Foundation Fellow at
the Eastern Bank Foundation.
Jeff will be discussing his new book
THE MYTH THAT MADE US about
economic inequity, racial justice, and the role that key
narratives have played in perpetuating both, along
with providing a way forward —solutions that will
rebuild opportunity in a way that pays off many times
over for the investment.
