Summary
CalPERS said its new chief of diversity, equity and inclusion has begun meetings with the board, announced a Diversity and Inclusion Day on April 29, and opened registration for the CalPERS Pathways for Women's Conference in Anaheim in August (date not specified).
The Chair announced an update on Sherry Slate, CalPERS' chief of diversity, equity and inclusion, saying she has held several one-on-one meetings with board members and encouraging those who have not met her to schedule time through staff. "You can't miss Sherry walking through the halls with her big smile and her support and curiosity about everyone and everything we do here at CalPERS," the Chair said.
The Chair said CalPERS will hold a Diversity and Inclusion Day on April 29, describing the event as an internal celebration for staff to share background, family and cultural stories and to build understanding across teams. Board members were invited to attend, and staff were asked to coordinate calendar notices through Christina.
The Chair also announced that registration is open for the CalPERS Pathways for Women's Conference, which will be held in Anaheim in August; the Chair emphasized that the event is intended to bring women and male allies together to support career growth in underrepresented industries such as finance and investments.

The remarks concluded with a statement of organizational purpose: hosting these events both recognizes the value women bring to leadership and aims to inspire future generations.
