Sheila and Dmitri are both members of the ELC’s Corporate Board Initiative (CBI) Cohort Group. CBI is dedicated to increasing the number of black executives on corporate boards.

On May 22, Brown University elected ELC’s Chief Operating Officer, Brickson Diamond, to its Board of Trustees for a six-year term.
