New York Leaders in Diversity / Diversity in Business

Overview

Leaders in Diversity / Diversity in Business is a regional recognition program run by the New York Business Journal (part of the American City Business Journals network) honoring executives, companies, and organizations that demonstrate outstanding leadership and measurable impact in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Honorees are chosen through an editorially managed nomination process highlighting initiatives that advance workplace and community inclusion. Companies pursue it for local brand credibility, talent attraction, and visibility among New York’s business community, with selection presented as an editorial recognition rather than a pay-to-play ranking.

Eligibility Requirements

• Nominee must be an individual leader, company, or organization operating in the New York City metropolitan area
• Must demonstrate a clear track record of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organization or the broader community
• Self-nominations or third-party nominations must be submitted via the New York Business Journal’s online form by the stated deadline
