Rapidly changing demographics and social and cultural trends have made diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace vital to success. Not withstanding 30 years of advancements in DEI training and education, many industries and organizations have not changed—leaving them ill-equipped to recruit and retain talent today. DEI is a broad field, constantly expanding to help all marginalized groups—and it can be overwhelming to keep up. DEI Foundations: Practices for Accelerating Your Bank’s DEI Journey provides DEI basics, leading organizational practices, and a tangible framework for starting and leveling up DEI programs in America’s banks.

Her educational background includes a doctorate in literary studies with a minor in gender and women’s studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an executive certificate in strategic diversity and inclusion from Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership.
