Real Initiatives to Accelerate Equity in the Workplace 

Dear Colleague,

On Thursday, March 30, the 2023 Catalyst Awards Conference & Dinner will gather hundreds of corporate leaders and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) professionals in New York City and online. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect with a global community of peers committed to workplace inclusion and gain refreshing perspectives on how to deepen your impact.

The Catalyst Awards elevates and celebrates outstanding DEI initiatives that are leading the charge and making real change. It's one of my favorite moments of the year, because the event brings together people who share, teach, and inspire us all to keep going.

This year’s theme is Accelerating Equity on All Fronts—So Women Thrive. The Catalyst Award-winning initiatives from The Hartford and UPMC are testaments to what is possible when DEI is prioritized at every level. With intentionality and commitment, these initiatives are truly Accelerating Equity and serving as models for others to do the same. 

Buy your tickets and ticket packages to attend the 2023 Catalyst Awards today. Together we can build more gender-equitable workplaces from the frontlines to the C-suite.

Sincerely, 

Lorraine Hariton 

Catalyst President & CEO

Who Code*. Learn more about the content of the session below.

Morning Keynote Fireside Chat: Supporting Moms Helps All Women to Thrive — The pandemic saw women leave the workforce in droves due to increased pressure to take on the bulk of the responsibilities at home. Supporting motherhood is key to achieving women’s advancement in the workforce and closing the leadership gap in the C-suite. Employers need to meet this moment, offer paid leave, childcare benefits, and end the gender wage gap. Join Moms First to hear how organizations can move the needle.
