Our January meeting will feature a powerful and timely presentation by cofounders Deborah D. Vereen and Frank Miles entitled:

Repositioning DEIB by Reclaiming Its Authentic Meaning

This topic was intentionally selected in direct response to feedback from our recent member survey. When asked to identify their greatest DEIB challenges, concerns, and support needs, one theme stood out clearly:

“Need help with rebranding DEIB & frustrated by the need to rebrand DEIB.”

In this session, Deborah and Frank will explore how DEIB has drifted from its original intent—and how organizations and leaders can reclaim its authentic meaning in a way that is values-driven, sustainable, and impactful. Attendees can expect thoughtful insights, practical framing, and renewed clarity around what DEIB is truly meant to represent.

Bonus: Book Raffle

As part of this meeting, we will also host a raffle for the presenters’ upcoming book:

Holistic Leadership: How to Weave Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Principles into Your Organization’s DNA

📘 Scheduled for publication in early 2026

This is a great opportunity to get early exposure to a highly anticipated resource on embedding DEIB holistically into organizational culture.
