DESCRIPTION:Race Bridge - Is There a Shortage of Diverse Talent? CEOs natio
	nally (and closer to home) are reportedly prioritizing the hiring of diver
	se talent into leadership roles to bring more equity and inclusion into th
	eir hiring practices. Some say progress is slow because there is a shortag
	e of people of color with the skills to fill the mid- to high-level positi
	on openings that typically lack hiring diversity. Meanwhile\, many high-po
	tential\, highly-skilled professionals of color report feeling overlooked 
	and excluded from consideration for positions matched to their qualificati
	ons. The disconnect\, they say\, is that employers don't have the networks
	 or lack the commitment to do what it takes to recruit and retain talent o
	f color. Join us for this Race Bridge discussion where we will explore the
	 question\, “Pipeline or priority: Is there a shortage of diverse talent?”
	 We’ll discuss the issue with a panel of professionals who will share: Sta
	tistics\, surveys\, and experiential data that will help unpack the issue

	 and actual hiring The challenges and solutions to retaining talent of col
	or in companies and communities What Milwaukee can do the strengthen the d
