About this Event
The Charlotte Observer is hosting its next community conversation that unpacks diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, and the impact this policy has had on society.
DEI programs have been around for years, but in recent months policies at schools and in business have drawn greater scrutiny about their merits or shortcomings and whether they promote division or rectify persistent social and racial inequities.
Our panel will be moderated by Service Journalism Editor and chair of the Charlotte Observer’s DEI Committee, Kendrick Marshall. It features:
- Tehia Starker Glass — Co-Founder and Co-director of Anti-Racism Graduate Certificate Program, UNC Charlotte
- Fernando Little — Chief Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer for Atrium Health.
- Christine Edwards — Founder, Civility Localized
- Brandon Thompson — VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at NASCAR.
- Jim Martin -— former North Carolina Congressman, Governor
Hailing from different industry sectors, politics and academia, these thought leaders are actively leading DEI initiatives or have written about them.
