“As diversity, equity, and inclusion are finally being seen and acknowledged as serious, pressing matters of discussion, we are delighted to honor and recognize those who have been tirelessly championing belonging and allyship — even before the topic was on the forefront of Americans’ minds. We thank you, our top 50 Talent Officers, for your work and commitment, and we look forward to witnessing all that you’ll accomplish, all the leaders that you’ll develop and the impact you’ll leave behind in the DEI sphere.” says National Diversity & Leadership Conference founder Dennis Kennedy.

The Top 50 Talent Officers Award distinguishes a select group of individuals from diverse fields who exhibit exceptional leadership and talent acquisition qualities. The focus of this award is to give prominence to accomplishments of men and women who exceed the scope of what is expected in their organizations and communities. This award recognizes upper level executives who lead the organization’s internal and external talent acquisition strategy and cultivate high-performance teams that help companies grow.
