The convening, attended by approximately 40 leaders, was inspired by a 2017 Mellon Foundation meeting of women of color college presidents. Berger-Sweeney teamed with Silver and Johnnetta Betsch Cole H\u201998, president emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges and president and national chair of the National Council of Negro Women, to create the 2021 event, which was funded by a grant from The Andrew W.
