Join Busboys and Poets for Dinner & Conversation with Author & Speaker Howard Ross
June 11, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EDT
Join Busboys and Poets at 6pm today, June 11 for virtual dinner and conversation with author, speaker, and thought leader Howard Ross—a lifelong social justice advocate and the founder of Cook Ross. Considered one of the world’s seminal thought leaders on identifying and addressing unconscious bias, Ross authored Washington Post best seller Everyday Bias: Identifying and Navigating Unconscious Judgments in Our Daily Lives (published by Rowman and Littlefield in 2014) and ReInventing Diversity: Transforming Organizational Community to Strengthen People, Purpose and Performance. He has delivered programs in 47 states and more than 40 countries while carrying out the work of Cook Ross to audiences that have included hundreds of Fortune 500 companies and major institutions within healthcare, government, and non-profit sectors, in addition to a variety of other industries.
From 2007-2008, Ross served as the Johnnetta B. Cole Professor of Diversity at Bennett College for Women, the first time a white man had served in such a position at a historically black college or university. He has been published by the Harvard Business Review, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Fast Company, Diversity Woman, Forbes, and Fortune, and has been a regular guest on National Public Radio for more than 10 years.
Hosted by Busboys and Poets CEO and Founder Andy Shallal with a special dinner guest each week, the virtual dinner party series is a perfect way to get an intellectually stimulating start to your weekend. Order your favorite meal and beverage from Busboys and Poets, set your table, and tune in for a special dinner with some of the most influential thought leaders of our time.
