Global Talent and Diversity Council

Asia Society’s Global Talent and Diversity Council is a members-driven working group that meets 3-4 times a year and seeks to raise visibility of the importance of nurturing Asian talent and diversity in the business community world-wide. It also acts as a go-to business resource to expose cutting-edge, innovative, and applicable best practices and trends that achieve real, measurable outcomes in attracting, retaining, and supporting Asian talent across the global business landscape. It also advises Asia Society and external stakeholders how they can best leverage their respective roles within the public arena as an advocate for inclusive Asian talent and diversity in the business community.
