Congratulations to OLPD alums Verna Price and Abdul Omari for being named two of Twin Cities Business‘ 100 people who will shape 2021!

What started as a passion project in 2013 during Omari’s (PhD’15) doctorate work grew into what is now a thriving business. AMO Enterprise provides an educational platform for companies to work on leadership development and the connections between equity, inclusion, and diversity. 

After working as a consultant and executive coach in the Twin Cities for two decades, Price (MA’90, PhD’96) looks to 2021 to change corporate cultures around race. Price, one of the few Black women in the Twin Cities who’s served as a leadership adviser, wants to leverage the heightened awareness around racism and inequality to move beyond traditional diversity and inclusion programs.
