NBIC’s Best-of-the-Best Awards & Gala

Uniting the nation’s leading business diversity organizations, the Best-of-the-Best Awards recognizes outstanding achievement in promoting cross-segment diversity and inclusion. Only companies achieving industry-leading results across all diverse segments are eligible to receive the prestigious Best-of-the-Best designation from the National Business Inclusion Consortium.

Taking place annually, the Best-of-the-Best Awards includes a robust day of meetings, roundtables and networking sessions with public and private leaders in the diversity and inclusion space culminating with a black-tie awards gala. Sponsors of the Best-of-the-Best awards receive access to exclusive dayside programming including a once-a-year opportunity to connect your company’s chief diversity officer with the leaders of the nation’s top business diversity organizations in a candid, cross-segment roundtable discussion.

Additionally, a federal policy roundtable brings together corporations and small business interests with members of Congress to identify common-sense solutions on key federal policy priorities. Fortune 1000 corporations with outstanding diversity and inclusion policies and practices are eligible to be considered a Best-of-the-Best Company.

To put your company forward, please contact Corporate Relations.
