We had hoped to see more of you at March's meeting. Did people
have a
problem finding it?? We only have ONE more meeting left this
year, and
it's going to be a fun one, a social activity, and we're looking at
having
it at a neutral site, but, we'll keep you posted.
Our speaker on Tuesday was Rebecca Noack from the Village Business Institute,
a division of The Village Family Service Center. Rebecca talked
about
diversity and many of us were amazed at the little quiz we took that
showed
what Corporate America is really made up of (The ration of Americans
that
are African-American, Hispanic, or Asian is 1 in 4!! Wow!!)
We talked
about what "Diversity" really means, which we concluded meant "letting
everyone reach their full potential". We also thought diversity
meant
recognizing that we are ALL different and celebrating those differences.
Rebecca had a lot of good insights to share, but noted that you could
only
GET STARTED on talking about Diversity in an hour.
