GM names members of new Inclusion Advisory Board

Detroit — General Motors Co. CEO Mary Barra Monday named the members of the automaker's newly formed Inclusion Advisory Board that will work to make GM a more inclusive company.

The diverse body made up of men and women of different races includes leaders from inside the company and outside. GM's leadership team has pledged to fight racism, bigotry and discrimination by doing more to root them out of the organization and beyond. The push for change at GM and other major companies comes after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by a Minneapolis police officer, that prompted nationwide protests against racism and police brutality.
