Session Overview
The second annual BRIDGE retreat taking place on May 5 – 7, 2024 at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa will unlock the powerful collaboration between CDOs, CMOs and CEOs by providing guidance on decentralizing inclusion and future-proofing businesses by maximizing inclusion for growth. In this key conversation, Jessica Golden Cortes (Partner, Labor + Employment) will speak with Kenji Yoshino (Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law, New York University School of Law) and Dr. Sesha Joi Moon (former Chief Diversity Officer for the House of Representatives during the 117th and 118th Congresses) in a deep dive on the June 29, 2023 Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decision to overturn Affirmative Action. Jessica and Kenji will discuss how the effects of this ruling are felt not only by educational institutions but also by businesses absorbing the downstream effects of racially unjust systems and structures that perpetuate unequal access to education and opportunities for historically marginalized populations. They will also discuss three other varieties of diversity and inclusion — debiasing work, ambient work and universal work — that Kenji believes can extend beyond typical affirmative action policies.
