Join us in advancing racial equity through public policy and corporate engagement strategies

Get Involved

The CEO Action for Racial Equity (CEOARE) Fellowship serves as a platform for organizations to deepen their commitments around racial equity, while also strengthening their relationships with employees, stakeholders, customers, and the communities they serve. More than ever, society is demanding leaders live up to their commitments, and do more to address societal issues especially with increased efforts around sustainability. There remains much work to be done in the journey toward racial equity and social justice and we see the vital role that the business community plays in helping drive progress. We are driven by the belief that meaningful collaboration can lead to lasting change. Get involved in our work.

Local & Advisory Opportunities

  • Connect to our work in specific states and specific cities: Through CEO Action for Racial Equity’s place-based approach, our Fellowship is focused on what we can deliver locally for the Black community through collaborative, community-driven solutions. We are building on the progress and success of our initial place-based launch in Oakland, California and taking our learnings to four additional cities – Baltimore, Maryland; Birmingham, Alabama; Dallas, Texas and Detroit, Michigan. We look forward to building relationships with local stakeholders to deepen the impact of our work. We also have focused efforts in three states – Massachusetts, Michigan, and New York which complements the existing work we are doing across the country, allowing us to intentionally focus on the states where we have the strongest network and meaningful opportunities to advance our mission.
  • Participate in our Advisory Network: Our Advisory Network consists of an experienced and diverse group of individuals who provide counsel to our Fellowship, share their extensive knowledge, and provide important guidance that serves to advance our issue agenda.
