Diversity Drives Innovation

The unprecedented energy and focus around diversity and inclusion, and the role the business community plays in driving that work forward, may very well be the most positive outcome of a tumultuous 2020. BRAC is pleased to host Chief Diversity Officer for The Clorox Company Erby Foster, Jr. as keynote speaker for its fifth annual Diversity in Business event, and to bestow two regional businesses with BRAC’s Diversity Star Award.

Foster's presentation, "Diversity Drives Innovation," will focus on how building inclusive leadership teams can be a game changer for economic growth in a community.

With today’s global marketplace changing rapidly, leaders must build inclusive teams with assorted thoughts, beliefs, and backgrounds to create comprehensive solutions to business issues. Even though this seems like an obvious truth, it’s remarkable how seldom we apply it.
