What is the Government Doing About DEI and Asian American Career Ceilings?

This event will feature an interview with Jenny Yang, a Civil Rights Leader and Former Government Official; Former White House, Domestic Policy Council as a Deputy Assistant to the President for Racial Justice and Equity; and Former Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, followed by a Q&A session.

Jenny Yang is a highly respected equity and racial justice veteran who has served in senior positions in the Federal Government, the White House and as a civil rights leader for almost her entire career. She very recently stepped down from her position in the White House and is teaching at New York University School of Law.

Peter Young, Chair of the Initiative and a Committee of 100 Member, will moderate the fireside chat.

Asian Americans have faced significant career obstacles and racial inequities. The U.S. government has an important role in formulating policies and laws, having a role in protecting the rights of individuals related to equity and racial injustice, and providing information and guidance to the public.
