Call for Nominations

Nomination Deadline: March 29, 2012

The Tri-State Diversity Councils (TSDC) first award recognition to CEOs will take place during the Second Annual Tri-State Diversity & Leadership Conference in New York City May 3rd, 2012. We are now inviting organizations to nominate their CEOs for the First Champions of Diversity Leadership Awards. The awards are given to CEOs that along with all other aspects of business are Champions of their organizations diversity and inclusion efforts.

The TSDC's goal with this new CEO Initiative is to shed light to the fact that it is those organizations that have support from leadership at the top, who execute the most effective and bottom line driven diversity initiatives. These CEOs are innovators, visionaries, with exemplary leadership that make them role models within their companies as well as in their communities.

The CEO will participate in a CEO Roundtable during which time they will also be receiving their award during the Tri-State Diversity & Leadership Conference.

Public and private companies, Fortune 1,000 and others with an employee base of 1000+ are invited to submit their nomination.
