About Global Talent Initiatives
For nearly 70 years, Asia Society has been the leading educational organization dedicated to promoting mutual understanding and strengthening partnerships among peoples, leaders and institutions of Asia and the United States in a global context. Across the fields of arts, business, culture, education, and policy, the Society provides insight, generates ideas, and promotes collaboration to address present challenges and create a shared future.
In 2007, Asia Society launched these initiatives to leverage its public voice in the area of global talent and leadership. Our programming is guided by the following:
- An understanding that integrating diversity initiatives into a company’s long-term strategy is a key component to that institution’s innovation, profitability, and future
- A belief that the responsibility for enacting change must be shared between Asian professionals, their allies, and leadership, thus making collaboration essential
- An emphasis on actionable solutions that speak to the specific and varied challenges that Asian professionals face in the workplace, considering their citizenship and culture
Asia Society’s Global Talent Initiatives platform includes the Global Talent and Diversity Council; Global Talent Symposium; annual Drivers for Diversity Awards; Global Talent Speaker Series and networking events; and professional development webinars.
