The Quiet Shift in DEI: What You Need to Know
Friday, May 9, 2025 from 10:00-11:00am EST
The DEI landscape is already changing — and most companies aren’t talking about it publicly.
Join us for a candid conversation with Alixandra Pollack, Head of Knowledge Transformation & Solutions Development at Catalyst, about how some organizations have pivoted their DEI strategies under new pressures, and what it means for the future of inclusive leadership.
With increased pressure from the current administration, many companies have quietly pivoted their DEI efforts, recalibrating their approaches while trying to stay aligned with their values. Alix will share insights into the real conversations, challenges, and shifts taking place — much of which isn’t being discussed publicly.
During this session, we’ll explore:
- How have companies already adjusted their DEI strategies?
- In companies that have successfully maintained their DEI focus despite external pressures, what practices or approaches have helped them stay the course?
- What advice would you give to leaders who want to continue advancing DEI within their organizations but are facing increased scrutiny or resistance?
