One hundred DEIB leaders made this year's list of exemplary individuals who inspire others to prioritize facing uncomfortable truths and commit to real-world change. From C-suite executives to grassroots organizers, Untapped's award winners list showcases DEIB leaders across industries and their innovative strategies, groundbreaking programs, and impressive results.
