Clorox’s chief diversity officer, Erby Foster Jr., will be the keynote speaker at this year’s Diversity in Business event, hosted by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.
At Clorox, Foster advises senior management and the board of directors on the company’s inclusion strategy, employment-branding initiatives, external partnerships and employee resource groups. Foster’s presentation will focus on how building inclusive leadership teams can be a game-changer for economic growth in a community, and how diverse teams help create comprehensive solutions to global business issues, says BRAC President and CEO Adam Knapp.
During the event, BRAC will also announce the recipients of its Diversity Star Awards, an annual hat-tip to local organizations doing exceptional work within their businesses and in the community to leverage the value of diversity.
Last year, Lighthouse Louisiana received the award in the small business category, while Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana was recognized among large businesses.
BRAC’s Diversity Drives Innovation event will take place via Zoom at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Register online for the event.
