2022 NYUL Champions Awards | Celebrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Updated: Feb 2, 2022
On April 5, 2022 at the Plaza in New York City, the New York Urban League will launch its Champions of Diversity Awards into a new era. The ceremony, which NYUL has hosted as a breakfast since 2004, has been reimagined into a dynamic half-day conference that will bring together thought leaders, experts and trailblazers in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. NYUL is honored to have as the Champions keynote speaker the President of the American Civil Liberties Union and Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, Deborah Archer. The companies being honored for their leadership and commitment to an inclusive and equitable future include Blackstone, Citi Group and Etsy.
The conference will include symposiums throughout the morning on topics such as The great Resignation; Corporate Responsibility – Beyond Statements and Hashtags; and Leading While Black and Brown. To add even more gravitas to the day, the conference will be chaired by NYUL Board member and Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for D. E. Shaw, Maja Hazell.
"New York Urban League is truly excited to chart a new and exciting path forward for our Champions Awards, remarked NYUL President and CEO, Arva Rice. “And to introduce the reimagined Champions with such an incredible lineup of industry leaders committed to DEI could not be more ideal.”
The Champions Awards are considered to be one of the highest accolades for public and private organizations committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. The new half-day schedule is designed to promote richer thought-provoking experiences and deeper engagements among all in attendance. “As an organization, we [NYUL] are poised to take the gold standard of DEI awards to the next level," said NYUL Board Chair, Ward Corbett. Corbett continued, "We anticipate the Champions conference in its new format to be a remarkable and informative experience for individuals and corporations from across industries.”
Thank you for highlighting the remarkable achievements celebrated at the 2022 NYUL Champions Awards. It's inspiring to see such a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion! How do you think initiatives like these can influence other organizations in fostering similar values? By the way, I’ve found playing drift boss helps me unwind after reflecting on such meaningful discussions!
This is a great read, especially the point about verifying historical sources. It reminds me how important precision is when working with texts. Tools that help with this, like a way to Imagen a Texto without uploading files, make cross-referencing old documents much simpler and keep your primary sources secure. Thanks for sharing this perspective.
Education careers can be demanding, so a quick daily brain break helps. I like that the clueffy game daily uses six questions where rare answers win, which keeps it engaging without eating up much time between classes or planning sessions.
Back-to-school prep is all about finding ways to decompress after homework. My kids love turning screen time into teamwork, and a chaotic co-op sim like Dear Passengers fits right in—flying a plane while serving snacks is basically family chaos, but with more physics. Smart choice for rainy afternoons when the school week gets long.
Congrats to Finbar Furey on the lifetime achievement award. His storytelling has always stood out. If anyone writes about his career, tools like 文字数カウント help track word counts and reading time in real time. Useful for keeping articles tight and readable.
