DE&I is undergoing a significant transition. Driven by political agendas that seek to downplay or diminish the need for a level playing field for individuals from diverse backgrounds, we are witnessing a troubling reduction in corporate America’s commitments to maintaining vital DE&I roles and programs. DE&I departments are being downsized or eliminated, and supplier diversity programs are also facing scrutiny under this new wave of opposition. In this panel we will examine the forces impacting DE&I and explore how it must evolve to endure and thrive.
