While the primary focus is increased diversity in technology, join us as we explore the impact of diversity across industries and how HBCUs are taking on the challenge/leading the charge.\n\n\u201cI am excited to join Truist, education leaders, and members of the Bipartisan HBCU Caucus for our Diversity in Tech Summit. Our congressional partners as well as our corporate partners recognize that diversity creates a stronger workforce, and that HBCUs play a critical role in creating the business leaders of the future,\u201d said Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12), founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus. \u201cHBCUs contribute nearly $15 billion to our economy annually and have provided pathways of opportunity to millions of Americans, many of whom are first generation college students. HBCUs are key to diversifying the workforce, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to be the honorary host of the Diversity in Tech Summit.\u201d\n\nDuring the Summit, hundreds of participants from HBCUs, organizations, technology companies, and industry will participate in programming and panel discussions.\n\nFor more information on the Diversity in Tech Summit, please contact Sam Spencer (Sam.Spencer@mail.house.gov) in Congresswoman Adams\u2019 office.\n\nWho: Rep.
