About this session
Trust in business is eroding, and shareholder advocates pushing for accountability can feel like they're carrying that risk alone. Amid attacks on DEI and free enterprise, this moment calls for coordination, not retreat. Shareholder advocacy is one node in a larger ecosystem alongside values-aligned corporate directors, chief diversity officers, and investor coalitions. Drawing on new analysis of the risks of corporate retreat, this fireside chat explores how connecting these actors into a unified coalition turns isolated engagements into lasting protection for inclusive markets.
Speakers:
• Tynesia Boyea-Robinson, President and CEO, CapEQ
• Tammy Halevy, Executive Director of Reimagine Main Street, a project of the Public Private Strategies Institute
