Monica C. Smith, CEO of Marketsmith to Keynote at National Diversity Council Event

​Monica C. Smith, Founder and CEO of Marketsmith Inc., a fast-growing, women-owned, data-driven integrated marketing agency, will be a keynote speaker at this week’s 2017 Tri-State Diversity and Leadership Conference, hosted by the National Diversity Council.

The 7th Annual Conference, taking place August 24 at the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan, aims to provide a platform for dialogue on inclusion and diversity-related issues that impact this region.

"When I can share my insights, and stress the business imperative for inclusion, it's a wonderful opportunity. I believe we need to move from a mindset of quotas to a mindset of inclusion. My own journey is proof that it can make a huge impact on the economy, clients and the world around us."

Monica C. Smith, CEO, Marketsmith Inc.

Smith’s focus as keynote speaker will be on overcoming barriers to inclusion: “Two decades ago I was fired for coming out at a company where I was the highest revenue producer,” said Smith. “When you have been fired for being who you are, the sting may dull over time, but it never quite goes away.”

About the National Diversity Council

The National Diversity Council is the first non-profit organization to bring together the private, public and non-profit sectors to discuss the many dimensions and benefits of a multicultural environment. The success of the Texas Diversity Council (established in 2004) served as a catalyst for the National Diversity Council, launched in the fall of 2008. The National Diversity Council is a forerunner of community based, national organizations that champion diversity and inclusion across the country. It is currently made up of state and regional councils, the National Women’s Council, the Council for Corporate Responsibility, and the Healthcare Diversity Council.
