If one wanted to specialize in diversity, to be on track for a future as a Chief Diversity Officer, what educational programs or other affiliations - like professional societies - should they look into? What kinds of conferences would they attend? What Web sites would they bookmark? Where would they go to learn best practices?

Exactly how many "Chief Diversity Officers" are there in this world? I don't think I've ever run across one.

I have no idea, I checked the dictionary of occupations and that responsibility typically falls under the HR Director. But I have seen listings for that title and assistant to the CDO, and other titles like VP of Diversity Strategy, etc.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to search for best practices for various diversity strategies and I usually start by going to edu. websites for curriculums and reading lists and to professional societies to look at recent conference agendas. But I've been searching for about week now and I haven't gotten anywhere.
