Diversity and inclusion aren’t problems to solve. Instead, they are opportunities to bring about equitable change and serve as a powerful source of creativity and innovation. Be part of that change with Other Voices. Applications for the Class of 2025 are due on July 15.
What is Other Voices?
Other Voices Diversity Leadership is our signature diversity, equity and inclusion program. This community-building curriculum brings together individuals from all life experiences to engage in frank and open dialogue to build insight and understanding of the roots of prejudice.
The program runs from September through April. Applications are open now for the 2025 class.
Other Voices Executive Program
Designed to rally the business community, the Other Voices Executive Program helps advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace by bringing together CEOs and C-Suite executives in Guilford County to leverage their individual and collective voices for positive change.
Change Agent Award
Awarded annually, the Change Agent Award recognizes and rewards community members who go above and beyond in their civic and service-oriented work to create a more equitable community.
Ideal candidates serve out of a personal mission to be inclusive change agents and empower others, process facilitators, and understand and use the power of vision.
OV Alumni Spotlight
Other Voices is truly one of the most enriching programs for Diversity Development I’ve ever encountered. The open dialogues, personal experiences and multiple perspectives make it possible for one to see life through the eyes of others. Through this program I’ve grasped how beneficial it is to embrace the self-expression of myself and therefore, foster a pathway for the self-expression of others.
Other Voices is a transformational program that is a must for everyone. From dynamic speakers, interactive discussions and personal reflection, this program does not disappoint. I am grateful for the OV experience and the lasting connections created through this program.
…Other Voices is not just a ‘diversity program.’ It is the beginning of a journey that will last a lifetime. I am so thankful that the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce offers this valuable leadership training program to our community.
