Join Judith Erwin, the CEO of Grasshopper Bank; Rick Wade, Vice President of Strategic Alliances and Outreach at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and Dee McDougal, SVP Diversity and Inclusion at PacificWestern Bank. This group will discuss how financial institutions can lift diverse businesses out of the Covid crisis faster. Headlines around how Washington has provided disaster-recovery funds through banks have been largely negative. Judith, Rick and Dee will share how we can generate better results. This conversation will be moderated by Bridgit Fawcett, the Global Head of Strategy Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory. Bridgit has led Diversity and Inclusion initiatives at Citi and is now leading their sustainability and corporate transitions group. Sponsored by PacificWestern Bank.
