The Future of Work is Diverse, Inclusive, Just and Equitable

GlobalMindED is an Inclusive Success Network^TM dedicated to creating a capable diverse talent pipeline, closing the equity gap for women and people of color, and connecting underrepresented/ underserved students to role models, mentors, internships, and jobs.

The GlobalMindED 10th Anniversary Conference kicked off with the Welcome Reception and the Inclusive Leader Award Winners.

Over 600 attended the dinner to hear from the Awardees. Dr. Lydia Prado, Executive Director of Lifespan Local was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening. We were honored to hear the stories of each awardee, who serve as the major role models for the students we serve, those who work with them, and those who want to hire them.
