MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — September 20, 2019 — The Forum on Workplace Inclusion (The Forum) announced it is now accepting nominations for the 2020 Forum on Workplace Inclusion annual conference Diversity Awards.
“Since 2008, The Forum on Workplace Inclusion has been recognizing champions in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space by presenting the Winds of Change award to exemplary individuals and organizations that go above and beyond in their efforts to create an inclusive workplace,” said Forum Executive Director Steve Humerickhouse.
A second award category was added two years ago.
“In 2018, The Forum created the Power the Future award to recognize and lift up new leadership,” he said. “Together these two awards call attention to the best work of DEI champions, advocates, and allies.”
Winners of the awards are recognized at The Forum’s annual conference main stage during the general sessions. Winners are also recognized on The Forum’s website and through communications to its large national and international network of professionals.
