13th Annual Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium overview
Initiative:
Mid-level Pipeline and Talent Management
Initiative Supporter(s): PepsiCo Foundation
Since 1994, the Annual Mid-Level Managers' Symposium has provided
professional development and mentoring to more than 5,000 high
potential African-American mid-level managers in corporate America.
The event is developed by the Institute for Leadership Development & Research and held the day following The Council's Annual Recognition
Dinner, held each October in Washington, DC.
Both the Dinner and the Symposium provide opportunities for African
Americans and other corporate executives to network, engage in
learning, and to honor the achievements of African Americans and pro
diversity companies working to make the business case for diversity
and the corporate workplace more inclusive, equitable and successful.
Symposiums are developed and moderated by corporate management
consultants like Dr. Price Cobbs, renowned psychiatrist, author, and corporate
management consultant to Fortune 500 companies with featured guest
facilitators and keynoters such as Dr. Ella J. Edmondson Bell,
Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Tuck School,
Dartmouth College, and Dr. Nat Irvin. |
