Since 1994, the annual Mid-Level Managers' Symposium has provided professional development to more than 3,000 African-American mid-level managers in corporate America. The event is held the day following the Executive Leadership Council and Foundation's annual Recognition Dinner held in October in Washington, DC.

Both the Dinner and the Symposium provide opportunities for minority and majority executives from corporate America to network, honor the achievements of African-American executives and pro diversity companies working to transform the corporate landscape.

The Symposium is developed and moderated by Dr. Price Cobbs, internationally renowned psychiatrist, author, and corporate management consultant to Fortune 500 companies. It has featured guest keynoters such as Dr. Ella J. Edmondson Bell, Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Tuck School, Dartmouth College.

The all day Symposium, running from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., attracts about 500 African-American corporate managers with 10 or more years experience in corporate America. Panels comprised of ELC members and corporate CEOs stimulate frank, open discussion about the corporate climate and diversity issues in the corporate workplace.

The topic for the 7th Annual MLM Symposium was "The Challenge of Change in the New Millennium."
