A Peer Breakfast for DEI Leaders

Event details

2 hours 30 minutes

DEI work is complex.

It requires challenging entrenched systems, shifting deep-rooted behaviors, and reshaping long-held mindsets. As a DEI leader, you know that true progress isn’t about quick wins but the steady, intentional effort to drive cultural change through leadership and meaningful action.

Each step forward raises important questions:

  • How do we move beyond surface-level efforts to create lasting transformation?
  • How do we embed DEI into the core of our organizations for genuine impact?
  • How do we sustain momentum when faced with resistance?

BTS invites you to a DEI Roundtable Breakfast — a space for leaders like you to engage in candid discussions about these challenges. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about sharing experiences, learning from setbacks, and collaborating to drive DEI forward, even when the path is uncertain.

Though progress can feel slow, every effort and conversation lays the foundation for lasting change. In a time of increased scrutiny, it’s more important than ever to connect, share insights, and refine strategies for embedding equity and inclusion throughout your organization.
