A Virtual Fireside Chat on Diversity - Featuring Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Independence Blue Cross

Presented in Partnership with the HR Department of the Year Awards


Companies throughout the Philadelphia region are embarking upon a process of introspection when it comes to examining diversity, equity and inclusion within their workplace. Most companies strive to have a workplace that embraces a diversity of thought, perspective and background but not all know how to achieve this goal. The HR Department of the Year Award would like to showcase the past two winners for the best Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs: The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Independence Blue Cross. Each organization will describe their award winning program and how their programs have evolved since COVID-19, the financial crisis and the protest surrounding the killing of George Floyd.

Speakers:
Gilbert C. Davis, Vice President & Chief Diversity Officer Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Becki Fogerty, Senior Director, Office of Diversity & Inclusion Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Peter Jones, Director, Enterprise Learning & Development Independence Blue Cross
John Clayton, Director of Diversity & Inclusion Independence Blue Cross
Tashima Waller, Diversity & Inclusion Learning Consultant Independence Blue Cross

From Our Members

“As a Human Resource professional, you are invited to a number of seminars and networking events. The challenge is finding those that provide the best opportunity for professional development, exchanging best practices and engaging in high quality networking with peers. After attending the Human Resources Executive Alliance event, I can tell you that they have it mastered. Having the opportunity to hear first hand perspectives from the CEO of one the largest healthcare systems in the region was priceless. The HREA is the premiere networking alliance for Human Resources."
