Panelists discussed how attendees can better understand and navigate the realities of recent DEI rollbacks, including increased legislative bans and other legal challenges. Questions included: "What should leaders know to make informed – not reactionary – decisions about DEI funding and initiatives?" "How do we purposefully and collectively stay the course to drive equitable solutions for wellbeing and prosperity in the region amidst these growing trends?"
