Cynt, the first black female CEO in the NBA, said her vision was for the Dallas Mavericks organization to become the global standard for inclusion and diversity, and now the franchise is known as an award winning one in diversity. Cynt will sit down with Emily M. Dickens, SHRM, Chief of Staff, Head of Government Affairs & Corporate Secretary, to talk about how value-based leadership can bring transparency and trust to any organization. She knows first-hand the impact of women leaders in male-dominated industries. You will hear her journey as a mother working through serious illness while serving in corporate leadership positions. This critical conversation will give attendees first-hand knowledge about the difference between diversity and inclusion and why diversity does not guarantee inclusion.
