Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion are no longer just feel-good initiatives. They are critical to an organization’s success. Old stereotypes are fading, but barriers still exist. Justice, equal opportunity and inclusion continue to be out of reach for Black, Hispanic, LGBTQ+ and other minority populations. 

Many in the public and private sectors have attempted to spotlight the diversity of our nation and support a culture of inclusion. What more can be done to break down barriers to equity and achieve true inclusion? How can we provide and promote opportunities for innovation in all communities? 

The Hill will explore diversity, equity and inclusion opportunities within the federal government, business and education and how pathways of opportunity are emerging and empowering future generations.
