A message from the Founder of the ILIA Awards

Simone E. Morris, CEO, Simone Morris Enterprises

In 2020, a year marked by a global pandemic and social unrest, a vision emerged to illuminate the darkness and celebrate leaders dedicated to building a more inclusive world. This vision, shared with my colleague Joe Santana, laid the groundwork for the Inclusive Leadership Impact Awards.

 

Though initially sidelined, the idea rekindled with renewed purpose in 2023, leading to the inaugural Inclusive Leadership Impact Awards.

​

Today, these awards honor extraordinary individuals who have made a significant difference in their workplaces, communities, and non-profit organizations by championing inclusive leadership and driving transformative change.

 

Join us on this journey as we continue to elevate and empower inclusive leaders, building a brighter, more equitable future for all.
