Our Events

Our events provide a space for important conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion to take place. Both our virtual and in-person events spotlight leaders of diverse backgrounds who serve as an inspiration and an example to others seeking to create and be part of a leveled playing field in the workplace. We are proving that it is possible to have a world where marginalized members, underrepresented individuals, and people of all origins prosper in similar opportunities if given access–and that a diverse workplace is actually a more efficient, and effective one. If this cause resonates with your values, join our upcoming events, and re-live our past ones.

DEI in Action Series

In 2021, we initiated the virtual DEI in Action Series to highlight leaders of all different backgrounds that are elevating DEI awareness around the globe in their own unique ways across industries. The series was a HUGE success, garnering 700+ viewers from all over the world! We host five-yearly events to celebrate Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month. Join us!

Yardstick Management Institute

During this recurring retreat-style event, a cohort of the nation’s top leaders gather in picturesque St. Simons Island, Georgia (at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort) to explore the connections between Leadership and the Power of Vulnerability. Through examining diversity, equity, and inclusion, exploring cultural awareness, and engaging in self reflection, attendees embark on a personal journey that helps them redefine leadership commitment in an ever changing diverse, global landscape.
