About the Event:
On November 4th, the iMasons community came together to present the 2019 Diversity & Inclusion award and raise contributions for the $1M Education Challenge.
Launched by Infrastructure Masons in 2018, the Diversity & Inclusion Champion Award recognizes and celebrates industry leaders whose contributions have become visible, rewarded, and amplified.
The award honors individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and have gone above and beyond to support and advance diversity and inclusion within the digital infrastructure space.
This event not only celebrates current leaders but also reinforces our commitment to supporting the next generation of talent through the IM Scholarship Fund, which dedicates 50% of its proceeds to women.
