Equity and Opportunity: Making Meaningful Change 2022 | CNBC Events | 9 February 2022 | Webinar

Companies and organizations dedicated to creating a more inclusive culture have made strides in recent years and are focusing their efforts on creating more opportunities not just for their workforce, but for all stakeholders.

The forum will gather leaders and experts who are managing differently, narrowing the wage gap, creating new pathways to wealth and expanding the talent pool in innovative ways, resulting in meaningful change on the individuals and for society as a whole.\

Agenda:

• WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE NOW
The traditional, hierarchal approach to leadership is being redefined to meet modern-day challenges and opportunities. We’ll discuss how agility, flexibility, equity, and opportunity have become essential components to the success of companies.

• U.S. TREASURY TACKLES RACIAL INEQUITY
Many barriers still exist for underrepresented communities when it comes to accessing economic benefits and opportunities, and the pandemic has only worsened matters. We’ll learn about how and why the U.S. Treasury is looking to play a central role in tackling this problem.

• LEVEL UP: FINTECH TO FIGHT FINANCIAL EXCLUSION
When it comes to financial institutions, lack of access and discrimination have been consistent themes throughout the years. Fintech is looking to change this. We’ll examine how digital technology and crypto are aiming to level the playing field.

• HELP WANTED: TAPPING INTO UNTAPPED TALENT
As the labor shortage continues, talent pools that are highly qualified and ready to work remain largely untapped. We’ll discuss how to establish unconventional recruiting channels and why a diverse workforce is not only ethical, but profitable.

• GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS
The only way to create true equity and a stronger society is by having uncomfortable conversations, according to one NFL linebacker turned best-selling author. We’ll learn how to ignite honest dialogues in order to bring about meaningful change.
