(2014) COMMIT!Forum: The True Power of Diversity

Aug 4, 2014 11:20 AM ET

Beyond Optics - The True Power of Diversity to Unleash Innovation and Drive Success 

People of color make up 36 percent of the American workforce, but hold just 13 percent of board seats on the Fortune 500. Women make up nearly half of the workforce, but hold less than 17 percent of the seats on Fortune 500 boards. These are dangerous statistics that put companies at risk, whereas they could benefit from embracing diversity.

This can’t miss session at the COMMIT!Forum will discuss what organizations of all sizes are doing to move “beyond optics” to the point where diversity is a powerful tool for a successful future.
