The Diversity Council Honors Award(TM) was established by the Association of Diversity Councils to honor outstanding contributions and achievements of diversity council groups that lead diversity processes in organizations and demonstrate results in their Workforce, Workplace and Marketplace. Applicants are evaluated on contributions in four categories: demonstrated council results; demonstrated management commitment; measurement and accountability; and communication and education.

Janice E. Bowman, President of the Association of Diversity Councils says, "The work of these top Councils elevates the overall significance and value of all Councils. The strategies, tactics, activities, commitments, results and achievements they have identified help to set the standard of excellence for diversity and inclusion councils on a national level, and provide inspiration for all who are on the front lines of diversity and inclusion."

The reception will be held during Linkage's Summit on Leading Diversity, a three-day event featuring keynote speakers including Donna Brazile, Michael Eric Dyson, Michael Guest, Suketu Mehta, and SuChin Pak in addition to skill-development sessions, facilitated discussions, and a Summit-within-a-Summit.
