Talking Diversity At Net Impact
Video: Deena Hayes-Greene of the Racial Equity Institute Talks Diversity at NI14
"We need to build on the diversity efforts that we've been engaged in over the last few decades," Deena Hayes-Greene, of the Greensboro, North Carolina-based Racial Equity Institute (REI), said at the 2014 Net Impact conference.
"I think we've done an effective job, for the most part, in changing the complexion of the people in organizations. I don't know if we have diversified the realities of the people that work in there."
Hayes-Greene serves as managing director for REI, an organization with a vision to "optimize institutional outcomes for everyone." As part of our Talking Diversity video series, she goes on to describe sequential inequities that still exist in business and society -- and what can be done to address them -- in this two-minute clip.
Deena Hayes-Greene is the managing director for the Racial Equity Institute. For the last 11 years, she has been a proud member of the Guilford County Board of Education in Greensboro, NC. Greene's educational background is in Psychology, African American Studies and Justice and Policy Studies.
