Featuring California Companies and Their Diversity Strategies

The Summit will provide practical and applicable resources, tools, and information to Business Leaders and HR Professionals. Summit workshops and panels focus on both diversity and cross-cultural education. The Summit is designed to move beyond the discussion of diversity onto practical strategies designed to create an inclusive workplace and business strategies that reflect and respect Southern California's multicultural environment.
