“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Private Markets: Are the strides we’re making shrinking?” Drawing from her experience as the founder of Canada’s largest affordable housing initiative with wrap-around services, Sherry will explore how DEI is both a design principle and a business strategy in the real estate sector.
On Wednesday, April 9 at 10:15 AM, Andrew Garrett will participate in the panel:
