Addressing Systemic Challenges
Advancing Sustainable Change
Vision:
Vanguard envisions an industry where amplifying and catalyzing the actions for Black employees’ achievement will build a future where they are seen for their limitless talent.
Mission:
Vanguard provides a platform for growth, impact and exposure of participants, leaders and organizations committed to preparing Black talent and the industry for a lifetime of sustainable success.
The Challenge:
- The Black Lives Matter movement is spurring discussions about racial equity in the workplace.
- Industry leaders are trying to understand how to practically undo policies that disadvantage Black and POC employees in the industry.
- From promoting diverse employees to leadership roles, to capturing and analyzing data, to recognizing intersectionality, the challenge requires a multipath solution.
- Racism is ingrained in our society – as a result, it’s deeply ingrained in our workplaces, too.
