Camber Allyship Program, Presented by KEEN

The Camber Allyship Program engages senior leaders at our Camber Partner companies who identify as male (vice president-level and above) and who identify as female (director-level and above), to build skills and deliver systemic change through a leadership exchange informed by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles. This program prepares systemic change ambassadors through the acquisition of the following skills: allyship literacy, reciprocal mentoring fundamentals, gender and intersectional fluency, and effective communication with other gender-identified colleagues. Participants gain insight into the fundamentals of excellent allyship, leadership, and peer mentoring based on research and organizational best practices. This program is facilitated by Dr. Brad Johnson and Dr. David Smith, leading authors and researchers in the areas of gender in the workplace, mentoring, cross-gender allyship, professional ethics, and counseling from the United States Naval Academy and Johns Hopkins University.
