Bold Investments in Workforce Development and Social Impact
ABOUT NOMI NETWORK CORPORATE SUMMIT
In recent years, we have witnessed the private sector reexamine what it means to do good business; however, change has been gradual. Come and learn from corporate leaders, investors, and survivor advocates who have taken the bold investments necessary to accelerate social impact and decrease economic disparity. Discussions will explore tactics for eliminating human trafficking in supply chains, expanding DEI initiatives, and creating greater access so individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds can thrive in the workforce.
