In 2020, ULI Americas committed to diversity, equity and inclusion within Urban Land Institute, its member companies, and the real estate industry. ULI signed the Paradigm for Parity Call to Action. This month, to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month theme of “Choose to Challenge”, the ULI Women’s Leadership Initiative and the ULI Americas DEI Initiative present a Virtual Conversation to learn real-time solutions and how their companies’ cultures are transforming around the values of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Panelists:

• Dawnita Wilson, Chief Diversity Officer, JGB Smith, Washington, D.C.
• Dino Fusco, Chief Operating Officer, Silverstein Properties, New York
• Sandra Beach Lin, Co-Founder, Paradigm for Parity®, Dallas
• Serena Wolfe, CFO, Annaly Capital Management, New York City (Moderator)

The conversation will deliver strategies and tactics on how companies today are building a more diverse workforce and an inclusive culture:  What are the most important metrics to measure?  What are the most effective performance indicators for DEI?  How to get your employees, managers and leaders comfortable with uncomfortable conversations?  What are effective strategies to engage your middle managers?

This event is FREE for ULI members and non-members. Audience participants will receive a summary presentation on Paradigm for Parity, and have the opportunity to sign up for small-group discussions to learn about the P4P™ Action Plan & Tool Kit for Gender Parity research, best practices and what 100+ corporate CEOs have done to transform their companies.
