It’s Election Day 2020! Four years ago we – like so many – were electrified by the prospect of electing the U.S.’s first woman president! We are similarly thrilled about Kamala Harris becoming the first female, and women of color, Vice President in U.S. history.

November 7, 2020 will forever more be a historic day in the United States of America with Senator Kamala Harris being elected as the first bi-racial woman (the first woman period) Vice President. GenderWorks could not be more elated about this equality milestone! Kamala’s story represents the American dream at its best, making possible, what to that point felt unreachable.

This historic milestone is also Biden’s story.

Last week we launched the first in a new video series on the Root Causes that negatively impact efforts to strengthen diversity, equity and inclusion in organizations. We highlighted the insufficiency of the DEI business case as a motivator for change. It explored the limitations of the business case as well as what is needed to expedite progress. We’ve created a resource, “Why Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Matter for Progress and a Healthy Global Economy” which is a compendium of business case research.
