Charles Johnson
Colorado Black Chamber of Commerce and the Daniels College of Business host Voices of Experience Nov. 11
The University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business will host Voices of Experience Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m., on making equity the priority in diversity, equity and inclusion.
Featured speakers include Ball Corporation’s Senior Director of Diversity and Inclusion Charles S. Johnson, Newmont Corporation’s Global Director of Inclusion and Diversity Beatrice Opoku-Asare and NBCUniversal’s Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Salvador Mendoza.
More and more businesses and institutions around the world are making diversity, equity and inclusion a priority in hiring practices, day-to-day operations, mission statements and beyond. But what exactly does “equity” mean, and what can organizations do to truly advance it in the workplace? Daniels Dean Vivek Choudhury will moderate this deep-dive conversation with experts on DEI in the workplace, sharing their experiences and histories with this work that is more important today than ever before.
