TESTIMONIALS

Richard Yep
Global Principal, Ocean Vista Advisors
Dr. Cie Armstead is someone for whom I have great respect, especially in the area of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. She brings both a lived experience and a deep understanding of why DEIB is critical to professional societies and their members. I was asked to organize a professional society's diversity speaker series of world-renown experts and Cie was someone I immediately placed on that list. Attendees appreciated her explanations, descriptions, and examples of DEIB. Cie makes challenging topics easier to understand and apply to one's personal and professional life. I will also say that she was a speaker who was incredibly easy to work with and very flexible as we launched this inaugural speaker series. If she isn't on your list of "go-to" DEIB speakers, she needs to be!
