Dorothy B. Brothers

Dorothy B. Brothers understood something corporate America was slow to learn: diversity isn’t charity; it’s strategy.

As Senior Vice President and National Director of Supplier Diversity & Development at Bank of America, Dorothy spent more than 30 years creating opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses while pushing corporate leadership to think bigger about equity, access, and inclusion.

A visionary executive, mentor, and advocate, she helped expand pathways for women entrepreneurs nationwide and left a legacy that still invests in women leaders today through the Dorothy B. Brothers Scholarship Fund.
