Boston Leaders in Diversity / Diversity in Business

Overview

Boston Business Journal’s "Leaders in Diversity / Diversity in Business" is a regional recognition program that highlights individuals and organizations advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Boston business community. It is run by the Boston Business Journal, a local business publication with editorial oversight, and is attractive to companies because it provides peer recognition, local visibility, and brand credibility tied to a respected business media outlet. The program is industry- and community-facing rather than purely promotional, which gives it stronger credibility than many pay-to-play awards.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must be part of the Boston-area business community covered by the Boston Business Journal
• Nomination/application is for the 2026 award cycle
• Award categories may include both individual and employer/diversity-index recognitions
