CHICAGO, IL- Diversity MBA Magazine, a nationally distributed publication targeting professionals in corporate America, business, students, and entrepreneurs, announces their first ever Top 25 Outstanding Leadership and Diversity Impact Awards.
This award was designed to recognize the incredible work, and impact of the leaders whose longevity, consistency, dedication, and discipline in driving change have inspired others and made a difference in their organizations and communities.
These leaders possess a sharp vision, are courageous, have integrity, honesty, humility, and focus. Moreover, these leaders intentionally mentor, sponsor and help people reach their goals and/or achieve their next levels. In part, they consistently contribute to the success of others while making significant business impact.
“In today’s volatile environment that has trauma spilling over into the workplace, companies are forced to acknowledge race relation issues and conflicting attitudes among their employees. Bold leadership is required from today’s leaders to drive necessary change that sustains cultures of inclusion and belonging”, says Pam McElvane, CEO Diversity MBA Media.
These leaders will be recognized at Diversity MBAs 17th Annual Business Leaders Conference & Awards Celebration, held on September 26th -28th, 2023. There will be a special Top 25 Luncheon on September 28th, 2023. They will receive custom awards, profiles in publication and opportunities to share their experiences with emerging leaders.
