Keynote (Amal Masri) – When BIPOC Women Rise: The Ripple Effect of Fixing the Broken Rung 

In a time of DEI backlash and uncertainty, the broken rung - that crucial first step to management - remains the biggest barrier for women of color. The data is stark: after improvements in 2021 and 2022, Black women's promotion rates have regressed to 2020 levels, while Latinas now face their worst broken rung numbers yet. At current rates, it would take 48 years to reach true parity in senior leadership. But there's hope: Fix The Broken Rung's work reveals that targeted investment creates remarkable ripple effects throughout organizations. Through four stories, discover how supporting one BIPOC woman sparks waves of change across entire teams. Best of all? These transformative results require a smaller investment than you might think. Join us to learn how fixing the broken rung isn't just about advancing one person - it's about unleashing waves of untapped potential.

Panelists will explore how organizations can use data as a tool to navigate complexity, drive meaningful inclusion, and create workplaces where all women can thrive.
