Stefanie A. Smith personally believes change can occur through building effective leadership and diversity strategy including talent sourcing, business policy, succession planning, work-culture, and leader cultivation. As the Director of Inclusion and Diversity for the One Club for Creativity Stefanie partners with sponsoring agencies, corporate partners and brands to expose students, recent grads and young professionals to advertising careers through One Club’s global diversity and educational strategized programs: Creative Boot Camps and Multicultural Career Fair titled: Here Are All the Black People.

Additionally, she sits on the board of the National Diversity Council Tri-State Chapter as Chair of Membership and holds a Bachelor’s degree in advertising from Salem State University, and two Master’s degrees one from the University of Massachusetts – Boston’s Women in Politics and Public Policy program and another from Baruch College School of Public and International Affairs.

Although originally from Atlanta, Georgia Stefanie sees the northeast as her forever home where you will find her joking around and spending time with friends, family and her beloved warrior cat Spartacus.
