Event Overview
In honor of Black History Month, this Leadership Ecosystem webinar will be a facilitated conversation with a panel of Higher Education Information Professionals who identify as African-Americans discussing their careers, experiences, and perspectives.  The conversation will explore the paths that the panelists have taken through their respective careers, and seek to contribute to the wider opportunities to build more inclusive organizations.
