National Training Institute on Race and Equity (NTIRE) Announces Rebrand to MindMarks

Atlanta, GA, July 24, 2025. The National Training Institute on Race and Equity (NTIRE), a national leader in evidence-based training and education on racial equity and implicit bias, is proud to announce its rebrand as MindMarks, a name that reflects its evolution and renewed commitment to helping individuals and organizations move from insight to impact. www.mindmarks.org

With a strong foundation built over years of training thousands across sectors, from education and government to healthcare and corporate America, MindMarks will continue to offer the same high-quality services, now under a fresh identity designed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing cultural and organizational landscape.

“MindMarks represents a shift from raising awareness to driving measurable change,” said Dr. Bryant T. Marks, Founding Director and Principal Trainer. “Our new name captures the transformational journey we take with our clients, one that leaves a lasting impression on the mind, the heart, and organizational culture.”

What’s Changing — and What’s Not:

MindMarks will operate under the NTIRE umbrella, maintaining continuity in leadership, mission, and methodology. In addition to the foundational trainings on implicit bias awareness and mitigation, the rebrand introduces an expanded suite of courses that includes:

In addition, and by popular demand, MindMarks now offers a Bias Mitigation and Equity Certification (BMEC). 

MindMarks will also begin rolling out self-paced, online video training in August of 2025.

This transition from NTIRE to MindMarks reflects a strategic pivot to broaden the organization's impact while addressing the rising challenges and opportunities in equity and inclusion work.

“The name NTIRE served us well, but it was time for a brand that matches the depth, clarity, and versatility of what we offer,” said Dr. Kimberly Marks, Director of Operations. “MindMarks signals our dedication to equipping individuals and institutions to move beyond awareness toward real, sustainable progress.”
