Sixteenth Annual Upstate Diversity Leadership Awards
Tuesday, November 17, 2020
Due to the continued concern for health and safety, the awards celebration will be a virtual event that will still take place on November 17. Specific details will be announced soon.
The Upstate Diversity Leadership Awards Dinner
The annual Upstate Diversity Leadership Awards dinner originated as a community action project during the 2004 Upstate Riley Diversity Leaders Initiative hosted by the Riley Institute at Furman. As their group project, "Inclusion Infusion" suggested an annual event that would recognize organizations and individuals for their accomplishments in improving diversity in the Upstate. The idea developed and was quickly adopted by the Riley Institute and the Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg Chambers of Commerce, all of which have had representatives complete the Riley Diversity Leaders Initiative program.
