Presented by Dr. Mary-Frances Winters About the Program The Winters Group partnered with Diversity Best Practices to write a book about what was learned from 20 leaders of industry who told their stories with candor and passion and have provided key insights for other leaders to follow. These titans lead iconic American businesses that possess instant name recognition across the globe-Procter & Gamble, Eastman Kodak, Major League Baseball, Wal-Mart, Sears, Time Warner. They are some of the most powerful people in the world, shaping our future with breakthrough technologies, innovative retailing strategies and state-of-the-art investment models. And without exception, each recognizes diversity as a key driver of business success and consequently they have intentionally evolved into outstanding stewards of diversity. The motivation for this project was an attempt to address an ongoing concern among diversity practitioners who often cry: "My leaders don't get it." You don't want to miss this presentation as Dr. Winters will elaborate on what the 20 CEO's "get" and how it can help your organization. 4:30 -5:00 p.m. - Hors d'oeuvres, Networking, and Book Signing 5:00- 5:30 p.m. - Presentation of the three James W. Rouse Excellence in Diversity Awards. 5:30 - 6:15 p.m. - Dinner 6:15 - 7:30 p.m. - Panel Discussion on diversity and inclusion initiatives and effective leadership About the Panel Discussion A moderator will lead a lively discussion with the panel of experts about what make diversity initiatives successful from a leadership standpoint.
