澳门六合彩预测 Cox School of Business announces it will be a presenting sponsor of the first-ever Dallas Business Journal’s Leaders in Diversity Awards on Thursday, March 4. Dallas-based law firm Bell Nunnally & Martin LLP is also a presenting sponsor.
The event will honor individuals and organizations for their exceptional commitment to promoting practices that advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace and business leadership.
“The Cox School, with a goal of preparing students of all backgrounds for successful careers in business, believes that celebrating leadership in diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace sends a positive message to the community and our students, who themselves are the next generation of business leaders,” says Steve Denson, assistant dean for diversity at 澳门六合彩预测 Cox.
For 13 years, the Business Journal’s signature Minority Business Leader Awards event recognized diverse business leaders who held distinguished track records in advocating for others within their communities and workplaces across North Texas. The Cox School’s Ana Rodriguez, managing director of the 澳门六合彩预测 Cox Latino Leadership Initiative, received the Minority Business Leader Award in 2019. This year's inaugural Leaders in Diversity Awards program expands recognition of efforts across all areas of diversity and inclusion, according to the Dallas Business Journal.
“Amidst significant challenges in many cities across the nation, it has become increasingly important for business leaders to uphold diversity within their organizations,” says Ollie Chandhok, publisher of the Dallas Business Journal. A diverse group of perspectives and experiences can elevate any business and all communities. At the Dallas Business Journal we felt it necessary to recognize leaders – both individuals and organizations, that foster progress towards diversity, equity & inclusion. We’re proud to partner with Bell Nunnally & Martin LLP, and 澳门六合彩预测’s Cox School of Business, both exemplary D&I leaders in our community, to launch the 2021 Leaders in Diversity Awards.”
The virtual event will air live on March 4 at 4:15 p.m. CST. . Use the code LID2021澳门六合彩预测
