Speaking out on Racial Injustice.

Earlier today Page convened a member conversation about the ongoing social unrest stemming from the murder of George Floyd, the latest in drumbeat of race-based injustices in the U.S. that dates back hundreds of years. The call, led by Page Chair Charlene Wheeless and Page President Roger Bolton, included 100 Page and Page Up members and their teams.

The clearest takeaway from the discussion was the need for CCOs to steer their organizations toward open dialogue about this issue and taking concrete action to address it. We’ll soon be sharing the details of a commitment that the Page Board of Trustees will be asking all Page member organizations to make on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that can help inform that progress.
