Urban League Celebrates 12th Annual Diversity and Inclusion Luncheon

More than 600 people gathered together at the Avalon Manor Banquet Center to recognize those who have made a difference in diversity and inclusion. Urban League of Northwest Indiana (Gary, IN) hosted its 12th annual Diversity and Inclusion Luncheon on Thursday, November 7.

The luncheon serves as a way for the organization to acknowledge contributions made by businesses, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, civic organizations, and other individuals that advocate for diversity and inclusion in Northwest Indiana communities.

Urban League of Northwest Indiana President and CEO Dr. Vanessa Allen-McCloud considers this one of her favorite events of the year.

“We look for organizations or individuals in the community who are proactive in promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace,” McCloud said. “This event is amazing because we get to present awards to those who make those efforts in Northwest Indiana.”

Through 12 years of honoring diversity and inclusion, Urban League of Northwest Indiana hopes to continue this tradition for the foreseeable future.
