Building a Pipeline of African American Leadership

This event has reached capacity. Please email civicleadership@fftc.org to be added to the waitlist.

African Americans are consistently underrepresented in leadership positions, and despite large-scale diversity-and-inclusion initiatives and investments, studies show that number is shrinking. Why the continued lack of representation? How can we build a sustainable pipeline of African American leaders in the private sector?

The Robinson Center for Civic Leadership and Foundation For Black Philanthropy invite you to a panel discussion with local leaders who will address these questions and more through their own insight and experience. We’ll also examine findings from the Korn Ferry report, The Black P&L Leader.

Join us for an hors d’oeuvres reception followed by the program and panel discussion, moderated by Elizabeth Trotman, Senior Vice President, Civic Leadership Programs and Initiatives, Foundation For The Carolinas.

Panelists will include:

• Kieth Cockrell, President, Bank of America Charlotte
• Malcomb Coley, Managing Partner, EY
• Jada Grandy-Mock, Chief Community Impact Banking Officer, Fifth Third Bank
• JT Saunders, Chief Diversity Officer, Korn Ferry, Study Project Lead

5:30 – Reception (Hors d’oeuvres will be served)
7:00 p.m. Program and Panel Discussion with Q&A Session
