Williams, one of the nation’s most experienced leaders, scholars, and educators in this area.
He is a best-selling author whose research launched the Inclusive Excellence Model in American Higher Education, and his foundational books Strategic Diversity Leadership and The Chief Diversity Officer have become the North Star guidance of CDO’s and diversity champions everywhere.
