The Diversity Forum’s Past Event
The Diversity Forum Names the 2010 Diversity & Inclusion Award Winners
CHARLOTTE, NC,– The Diversity Forum held an event on Wednesday, October 13, at the Marriott
SouthPark (2200 Rexford Road) titled "Workforce/Workplace: The Benefits and Challenges of Diversity
and Inclusion". Debra Plousha Moore (Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Carolinas HealthCare System)
was the keynote speaker for this event. This event was also approved by the HR Certification Institute for
2.00 general credits.
Following Debra's inspirational speech two TDF board members, John Cole (Partner Ogletree Deakins)
and Chiquitha Llyod, (M/W/SBE Administrator, CMS) announced the 2010 Diversity and Inclusion Awards.
The Trailblazer (company) and the Champion (individual) awards recognize those who have shown
outstanding leadership in the community.
The 2010 winners are:
- Trailblazer Award – Lance, Inc.
- Champion Award – Nicole Dean (Vice President Corporate HR & Chief Diversity Officer at Belk)
Congratulations to our winners and thank you for being leaders in diversity and inclusion in our community!
"I am very excited about the growth of The Diversity Forum and how far we have come
in the last two years." Said Michelle Fish, Founder. "We are also extremely proud
of the Diversity & Inclusion Awards as it allows us to recognize leaders in our
community and encourage them to continue their leadership in diversity within our
community and surrounding areas."
The non-profit organization continues to serve as a resource for HR professionals,
senior executives, business owners, and diversity/inclusion practitioners to learn valuable
information regarding diversity and inclusion which can be implemented into both the workplace and general community.
We have been paying attention to past event surveys and in response to the popular
demand for a session focused on best practices; we have put together "Diversity
and Inclusion Practices to Sustain Employee Engagement."The Diversity
Forum’s very own Board of Advisors Chairman, Joe Machicote, will
serve as keynote speaker for our next event!
As the VP of Talent Management & HR Services at Lance, Inc., Joe
champions the development of the employee life cycle and best practices for leading
and managing people – including diversity and inclusion process, loyalty and engagement,
HR analytics, change management, employee resource center, talent acquisition, training
and development, and reward and recognition strategies for over 5,000 employees
in North America. If anyone can provide the "how-to’s"…it is this gentleman.
A recognized D&I leader in Charlotte, we don’t expect for tickets to be around for
long…
