Across Boston's business community, companies are leading major initiatives to advance racial equity in Boston's private sector - employing new policies and practices to diversify suppliers, boards, staffs, and leadership teams, and creating new opportunities for minority-owned businesses to thrive. This discussion will bring together business leaders from some of Boston's most prominent companies to talk about the work they are doing every day to advance economic inclusion and racial equity.

The discussion will feature representatives from Keolis, Boston Scientific, and Tufts Health Plan with Carol Fulp, President and CEO of The Partnership, Inc. moderating.

Mayor Walsh, James Rooney of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, and Jocelyn Sargent of Hyams Foundation will offer introductory remarks.
