The inaugural ELC CHRO Cohort In-Person Convening promises to be an insightful and empowering meeting, focusing on critical themes of self-care for senior executives and the advancing & realignment of DEI initiatives. With a distinguished lineup of speakers including Ginny Clarke, a former senior executive leader at Google & Spencer Stuart, participants will engage in an in-depth dialogue with Chief Diversity Officers, CEOs, and Board Members on strategies to effectively support, advocate, and provide allyship, partnership, and sponsorship for DEI programming as well as how to best take care of themselves as they are continuously challenged within their own environments, both professionally & personally.

This gathering will serve as a unique platform for networking and mutual support, specifically tailored to address the pressing concerns and priorities of Black CHROs and CDOs, fostering an environment where meaningful & safe discussions can thrive and impactful solutions can emerge.
