8:00 AM TO 3:00 PM (REVISED)
MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE TO ATTEND
THIS EVENT WAS CREATED IN 2020 IN RESPONSE TO THE NATIONAL CALL FOR RACIAL EQUITY. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE PRESENTED SEVEN EVENTS THAT DISCUSSED A HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF ECONOMIC INEQUITIES IN AMERICA; THE CURRENT RACIAL WEALTH GAP IN HOMEOWNERSHIP, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND FOR BLACK WOMEN IN PARTICULAR; DISPARITIES IN RACIAL HEALTH EQUITY; AND HOW CORPORATE AMERICA HAS THE POWER AND RESOURCES AND THEREFORE, CAN AND MUST LEAD THE WAY TO MEASURABLY ADVANCE
RACIAL EQUITY IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE 2025 THINK TANK ON EQUITY & INCLUSION WILL CONTINUE THIS CRITICAL DISCUSSION BY PRESENTING BOLD STRATEGIES BEING IMPLEMENTED BY CORPORATIONS, HEALTH SYSTEMS, AND ORGANIZATIONS TO MEASURABLY ADVANCE RACIAL HEALTH AND WEALTH EQUITY.
