The Texas Diversity Councils (TXDC) annual award recognition to CEOs will take place during Texas Diversity and Leadership Conference in Houston April 16, 2015. We are now inviting organizations to nominate their CEOs for the Champions of Diversity Leadership Awards. The awards are given to CEOs that along with all other aspects of business are Champions of their organizations diversity and inclusion efforts.

The TXDC's goal with this CEO Initiative is to shed light to the fact that it is those organizations that have support from leadership at the top, who execute the most effective and bottom line driven diversity initiatives. These CEOs are innovators, visionaries, with exemplary leadership that make them role models within their companies as well as in their communities.

During the conference, the CEO will participate in a CEO Roundtable during which time they will also be receiving their award.
