About the Event

Recent articles have raised questions about corporate support for DEI efforts. Below are a few themes we may explore as part of a facilitated discussion.

  • Why are some companies quietly trimming their DEI teams that they championed in 2020?
  • Why are DEI staff leaving their jobs?
  • Is the business case for DEI broken?
  • Is your company still committed to DEI?
  • Can you have pay transparency without a DEI program?

Please note this is not a presentation or workshop, but an open forum to discuss.

About the Facilitator

She has more than 15 years of experience implementing people strategies across transportation, technology, education, non-profit, and public sectors. Prior to returning to The Post, she most recently oversaw the consulting division at Management Concepts.

“To create a culture that values diversity and belonging, it’s critical that the foundation of those efforts is built around creating a better work environment for everyone. Diversity is a people-first, long-term commitment, and I’m excited to be a part of a company and collaborate with leaders who are willing to put in the work,” said Furaha.
