About The Equity Honors
The Equity Honors awards corporate chief officers who have been recognized by
their peers and our community as the true leaders at the vanguard of economic
equity and minority business integration. They are the bold ones, breaking open
old circles of influence and opportunity to usher in talent, perspectives, and
expertise that have been too long ignored. They are the visionaries, creating
the conditions for minority businesses to fully realize their vast, untapped
impact on the American economy and quality of life. And they are unshakable,
the living blueprints for upending the status quo and making the kinds of
changes that change everything. For more information, please visit For more
