Forty-four community leaders have been selected for the 2021 Bingham Fellows class, which will focus on the topic Belonging: Building a Culture of Inclusivity. This group of talented local leaders from all sectors has been selected for their knowledge and experience – which they’ll bring to the program as they study the root causes of racism, connect with leaders in the field of diversity and inclusion, learn to communicate across differences, and propose initiatives that address these challenges.
