Greetings from the Founder of the National Diversity Council, Dennis Kennedy

Dennis Kennedy

As the founder of the National Diversity Council, I would like to welcome you to the first edition of the 2013 Texas Diversity Council Newsletter. We are very excited about the upcoming year and the events we have planned for our community. Our most popular undertakings continue to be the Diversity and Leadership Conference and the Women in Leadership Symposium, held annually. Both events have evolved over the years as meeting grounds for innovative business people to shape the face of diversity in their community. They each offer numerous benefits and learning opportunities by presenting a variety of themes, discussion topics, and speakers advocating for diversity and inclusion efforts. We look forward to maintaining these knowledge-laden events in Texas, and furthering the creation of a diverse workforce, where people from all walks of life will be able to share their fresh perspectives and viewpoints. As the Texas Diversity Council continues to grow, we will add initiatives and programs, which address a broader variety of topics, such as corporate responsibility, women's leadership, and the importance of education among our youth. We will also offer consulting and mentoring services specifically catered to your organization's needs, whether it be the formulation of diversity and inclusion efforts, corporate responsibility programs, or any other initiatives you may require. For a complete list of all our 2013 events, please visit our website at www.texasdiversitycouncil.org/NEWWP1/calendar/2013-calendar. I hope you will have the opportunity to participate in some of our upcoming 2013 events and learn more about our organization, as we continue to champion, educate, and raise awareness about diversity issues in Texas- one organization and one community at a time.

Sincerely, Dennis Kennedy Founder and CEO National Diversity Council
