HOUSTON, April 15, 2021 /3BL Media/ - DiversityFirstTM will be hosting the 17th Annual National Diversity and Leadership Conference on April 21-22 and April 28-29, 2021. The conference will be held virtually with this year’s theme being “Be a Changemaker”. The four-day conference will honor a number of diverse talent from different industries.
In celebration of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, we want to honor women in the C-Suite (CEO, CFO, COO, Senior Executives, etc) from top companies who endeavor to improve not just their departments and companies, but their communities as well. Now we celebrate their hard work and progressive initiatives that serve to make the gender gap in the C-Suite just that much smaller.

Community Self Reliance Centre and
National Land Rights Forum, two land rights organisations in Nepal, physically and legally protected households from being evicted in Surkhet District (Karnali Province, Nepal). Once the government implemented lockdown, they advocated with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the provincial District Administration Office to stop ongoing forced evictions of returning and informal settlers. Together with other members of the multistakeholder National Engagement Strategy (NES), they are supporting the recently established Land Related Problem Solving Commission in its mandate to distribute land and to secure land rights for landless communities.

These past weeks have been a reminder - even if forced - that we are in major debt to our planet. Yet, while economies are collapsing, and we are forced to live at a slower pace, our planet is finally breathing.
The message is loud and clear. We must take care of our planet and the natural resources that provide us with good and healthy food, shelter and medicine.
