Decades prior to the rise of corporate diversity initiatives, Soder and Clarke were internationally recognized for their work helping women and minorities. One of three experts quoted in the U.S. Department of Labor's Glass Ceiling Report, Soder has been honored many times for her work with women. In addition Clarke, trustee emeritus of the National Urban League, has enabled numerous corporations and boards to effectively promote and retain minorities and women. Corporations and individuals often seek CEO Group guidance to more rapidly advance women - thus their female clients are often nationally recognized leaders.
