“Learning directly from the minds behind GDEIB transformed how I approach DEI in volatile environments.” – Effenus Henderson
“The GDEIB demonstrates bold action where systemic change is called for to address discrimination, inequity and exclusion.” —Barbara Deane
“Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility best practices are not illegal, and the federal government does not have the legal authority to issue an executive order that prohibits otherwise lawful activities in the private sector or mandates the wholesale removal of these policies and practices within private organizations, including those that receive federal contracts and grants.” —Letter from 16 Attorneys General, February 13, 2025
