The Findings will bring together a diverse set of leaders in the business world, government and nonprofit sector to gather as a community and engage in an open and robust dialogue about racial equity and environmental sustainability. The conference will include conversations with cohort members, working group sessions and powerful keynote interviews.

Our goal is to engage our community and bring together a dynamic group of leaders to amplify and create a space for inclusive and equitable dialogue. Breaking down silos, we want to facilitate productive conversations that can translate to collective action.

The Findings will take place on Thursday, Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST.
