The Stakeholders Breakfast is CBI’s largest community event each year. In 2018 CBI convened a record crowd of over 800 people from across the community to mark the conclusion of CBI’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. The stories of local people who are working to increase equity in a variety of systems and organizations were showcased through compelling videos. The breakfast was an opportunity for all to consider how each of us can WAKE UP, INTERRUPT, and STEP UP about issues of equity in our community. It was also a chance for people to connect with one another through table conversation and to be actively engaged in a CBI experience.
Our thanks to all of the people who joined us and our special gratitude to the sponsors that made this important program possible.
Follow these links to explore the equity stories that were told and to access CBI’s equity resources.
