The Future of Work is Diverse, Inclusive, Just and Equitable
GlobalMindED closes the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline through connections to role models, mentors, internships for low-income students, returning adults, First Gen to college and inclusive leaders who teach them, work with them and hire them.

GlobalMindED’s Year In Review: 2020: From Pivot to Purpose: links on circles
The First Quarter of 2020 looked a lot different to all of us. At GlobalMindED, we pivoted from our annual conference, Inclusive Leaders Dinner and Leadership Training for First Gen Students to a number of new ways to do our work after six years of a primarily conference based model. Many of these suggestions came from you and your students in our inclusive community. Here is the purpose that COVID revealed to us in 2020 and here is how we pivoted to create a capable, diverse talent pipeline:
-
Live Annual June Diversity Conference Goes Virtual. With 80+ sessions starting with Earth Week the end of April, GlobalMindED took half of its slated program virtual on this YouTube channel, where 23,000 + viewers learned from DEI experts, leaders and equity way setters. This content is the standard for diverse leaders, topics and talent that set a high bar for us to achieve access and equity.
-
Newsletter goes from 2-3x a week to Daily. Our students needed daily inspiration from role models during COVID when they became remote from college and colleague support. We averaged 12,000+ opens a day with an annual readership and open rate of 2.7 million for the year. As it turns out, more of us than just students needed this daily dose of wherewithal.
-
Our 102 Gen Leader Training 2020 Was Virtual, building personal and professional skills with industry leaders and colleagues including a Virtual Graduation, thanks to the VF Corporation.
-
The Every Learner Everywhere Student Speak Project allowed our 102 students to have a voice with policy makers and college leadership around the country with Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler. These students partook in 13 different 90 minute focus groups last summer where they shared their candid experiences and learned about how to support each other as a cohort.
-
ELE Funded 25 GlobalMindED/ELE Ambassadors to represent the 102 students on the national and global stage as well as their colleagues at their own campuses.
-
The 25 Ambassadors surveyed 270+ of classmates to provide the Fall Student Speak: Peer-to-Peer Report.
-
GlobalMindED Equity Teams by discipline, formed this fall, identified the most pressing DEI topics in monthly sessions, Courageous Conversations Catalyzing Change. Not only are these led by diverse leaders who are role models for all students, they provide insight to CEOs and Board members of what to look for and expect in diverse success.
-
GlobalMindED Inclusive Leaders 2020, set the call to action across 15 industry sectors for the must-do deliverables for an equitable and sustainable future as we close 2020. Again, these leaders are the guides - the role models - for corporate change-makers who want to lead inclusively and don’t know where to start or how to do it.
At GlobalMindED, we believe that there is no one solution that can produce an equitable world. Each of our different strategies move a lever, contributing to many levers moving to make the world diverse, inclusive, just and equitable. We hope you will join us in 2021, and we have yet to determine what scope and shape that will take. But we will continue to listen, to refine our initiatives and to co-solve with you the answers to our most pressing issues. Thank you for your continued partnership, flexibility in 2020 and patience while we pivoted. Here’s to 2021! First Q

GlobalMindED and the SDG Impact Fund are delighted to announce GlobalMindED's Donor Advised Fund. 2020 is the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and the 25th Anniversary of the Beijing Women's Declaration and Action Platform. Many from around the world are thinking of 2020 as the gateway to our most vital decade for delivering equity, the Sustainable Development Goals, and a world where all can thrive. Our key time for these outcomes is 2020-2030.
GlobalMindED DAF and the SDG Impact Fund are a powerful combined force for good as the 2019 year comes to a close and we reflect on the gratitude and the commitments we make to the causes we care most about. The DAF offers immense power and flexibility for giving prior to the year's end as you plant seeds of generous intention for 2020 and the decade ahead.
When you contribute to GlobalMindED, you support First Gen students. We have served more than 400 students by connecting them to role models, mentors, internships and jobs. Your generous support will allow us to take our work 10x and reach these talented students at scale who lack the resources and support we provide. Your support also helps teachers who can't afford the conference fees, faculty at colleges which are under resourced and students who persist at those universities despite food insecurity and/or housing insecurity.

THE FLYOVER NATION
Energy's Role in a Troubled Heartland
By J.C. Whorton
A unique and timely discussion of the challenging issues facing the country’s troubled Heartland.
Since the beginning of westward expansion into the Heartland’s vast regions, natural resource development has played a historic role in shaping its communities. Today, domestic oil and gas development offers one of the strongest prospects for the Heartland’s present and future prosperity as well as the nation’s re-emergence as a dominant player in the global energy economy.
The U.S. is now the world’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, two circumstances that are universally disrupting international geopolitical order. The earth has a finite supply of natural resources and a rapidly growing and over consuming population.
As America positions itself for a very uncertain and constantly evolving global marketplace, will the Heartland become America’s “great connector” or “great divide”?
