2024 Fifth Third Bank Diversity Leadership Symposium

Welcome to the 2024 Fifth Third Diversity Leadership Symposium!  This year’s theme is “Growing Together: Cultural Vibrancy & Belonging” and we couldn’t be more excited about the how the program is shaping up. The DLS is the Cincinnati region’s largest  largest annual business gathering focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. And it’s not to be missed.

This year’s keynote speaker, Emmy-Award winning sportscaster MJ Acosta-Ruiz, is the host of NFL Total Access, NFL Network’s signature show. MJ became the solo host of NFL Total Access in September of 2020, and in doing so became the first Afro-Latina to host a show on NFL Network. Acosta-Ruiz joined NFL Network in September of 2018 as a Bay Area-based reporter covering the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders. Acosta-Ruiz joined NFL Network from NBC 7 and Telemundo 20 in San Diego where she covered the Chargers for three seasons as the lead sports anchor. Prior to joining NBC 7 and Telemundo, Acosta-Ruiz spent three years as a reporter for WPLG in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, covering sports, entertainment and breaking news.

Please join us as we highlight important and relevant topics that will help build your workplace — and the Cincinnati region — as a welcoming place where everyone belongs.
