Supporting Our Justice & Equity Series

Summer Search draws upon 32 years of experience mentoring and empowering young leaders to build their confidence, break through systemic barriers, and win economic equality.


We present our Championing for Justice and Equity (CJE) series as a space for our broader community to:

LEARN

from experts and thought leaders in business, the public sector, sports, academia, and education.

EQUIP

your organization to confront, reflect, and discuss truths.

BUILD

a more inclusive talent pipeline and attract the next generation of leaders.
