Established in 1989, The Executive Leadership Foundation implements and sponsors
educational and professional development programs created by
The Executive Leadership Council members with support from their
corporations. This pro diversity partnership between African
American corporate executives and Fortune 500 leaders is helping to
make the case for diversity as a business imperative, develop the
next generation of African American corporate executives, and model
inclusive corporate leadership in companies working with The Council
to gain insight about the complexities of the diverse workforce and
barriers to inclusive leadership.
Over the years, CEOs and other corporate leaders have found that programs
and initiatives supported by The Executive Leadership Foundation
offer valuable career development, leadership opportunities, and
dynamic public forums where CEOs and executive leaders can express
their support of diversity and best diversity practices. The annual
Recognition Awards Dinner, held during October in Washington, DC, is
a public event attended by some 2,500 leaders representing corporate
America, public policy, and higher education.
