Potential Unleashed - Success Strategies for Black Women Leaders Webinar (March 2025)

Despite making up a significant portion of the workforce, Black women hold only about 1.6% of executive leadership positions in Fortune 500 companies. This dynamic panel explores effective strategies to empower Black women to rise in leadership positions.
 
Composed of accomplished Black women leaders, our panel shares their personal/professional experiences and offers advice on mentorship, networking, and advocacy.

The Impact of DEI Programs in Higher Education | CPAR Hill Briefing Webinar (November 2024)

This panel discussion explores the critical role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and how recent legislative changes impact students, staff, and higher education institutions as a whole.

Over the past three years, DEI initiatives have been subject to unprecedented shifts in policy:

  • 100+ legislative bills have been proposed across 44 states to limit or restrict DEI programs in higher education. 
  • Eight states have already passed laws prohibiting the use of public funds for DEI initiatives, directly impacting not only students of color but also veterans, first-generation students, and many others who depend on these essential resources for academic success. 

This webinar breaks down these changes and provides actionable insights on how to continue championing inclusion despite evolving challenges.
