2015 Diversity Leadership Forum to Explore How Employers Can 'Power Asian Talent'
Asia Society will host the 7th annual Diversity Leadership Forum in New York June 8-9, 2015. The two-day forum is a vital platform for companies to explore how to develop Asian Pacific American (APA) and Asian talent. It fills a critical knowledge gap relating to the growth, development and advancement of APA employees.
Fifteen roundtable discussions, plenary panels and workshops will address topics ranging from retaining Asian American talent to developing a digital presence among the Asian community (click here for the latest agenda).
