“Effective DEI work is just as critical to your organization’s bottom line as is a balanced budget or a successful advertising campaign.”

– Dr. Stephanie Pinder-Amaker and Dr. Lauren Wadsworth, Did That Just Happen?! Beyond Diversity

“In the convergence of Soft Power, DEI, and Intercultural Dialogue lies the promise of a world where diversity is celebrated, equity is ensured, and dialogue becomes the currency of connection. It is here, at this intersection, that we find the roadmap to a future built on empathy, respect, mutual trust, and the boundless potential of collective collaboration.”

— Effenus Henderson, Co-Director, Institute for Sustainable Diversity & Inclusion, at the 6th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, May 1-3, 2024, Baku, Azerbaijan
