One thought on “2021 Innovation Issue: Tumultuous year jolts diversity efforts into overdrive

  1. Quote (the wording of which is repeated in the Eight @ Eight summary page): “Certainly, after what we all as a nation, as a world, saw with the murder of George Floyd in 2020, it morphed into a definitive call to action, to really assess and do something tangible to eradicate racism and social injustice,” said Dawn Rosemond, diversity managing partner at Indy-based law firm Barnes & Thornburg.
