Out Leadership to Ring the Market Opening Bell at Nasdaq on November 2, 2018
NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Out Leadership, the global LGBT+ business network, will ring the Nasdaq stock market opening bell on November 2, 2018. The ceremony celebrates Out Leadership's instrumental impact in making LGBT+ equality a priority in global C-suites, and the progress its executive events and talent initiatives have made towards inspiring Out Leaders and global companies to grow their businesses through inclusion.
"When I started this company, it was rare to see a CEO discussing LGBT+ equality as an issue that affected how they did business. In the last 8 years, we've engaged more than 400 global CEOs in our work, helping them realize the immense positive business impacts of inclusion. In many ways, ringing the opening bell is symbolic of the immense progress we've made in establishing LGBT+ equality as a guiding principle for many of our world's most influential companies. As we ring the opening bell, we are grateful to the many companies and leaders who've helped us get here. And we are also reminded of how much potential remains locked behind closet doors. Our commitment to driving LGBT+ equality forward, in every kind of company, and in every region of the world, is stronger than ever before," said Todd Sears, Founder and Principal, Out Leadership.
Todd Sears will be joined by members of Out Leadership's senior leadership team, representatives from Out Leadership's member companies include members of its Leadership Committees, and other supporters. A live webcast of the honorary opening bell ceremony, courtesy of Nasdaq, will begin at 9:15 am ET on Friday, November 2, 2018, and will be available at https://livestream.com/nasdaq/live
