Greetings from the Founder,

Dennis Kennedy

Dennis KennedyAs the founder of the National Diversity Council, I would like to welcome you to the second 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.

Setting an Example of Diversity & Leadership Excellence

There is something to be said of those who achieve excellence despite the odds. The Texas Diversity Council as part of the National Diversity Council seeks not only to uphold and promote the principles of diversity and leadership, but also to recognize those individuals who personify those principles. As such, we have several annual awards, with which recognize and honor those individuals who have not only achieved personal success, but have made it possible for others to easily follow in their footsteps.

Stefan Wilson -- formerly President of Gulf South, UPS - now President, Great Lakes, UPS Diversity is strength. Diverse employee experiences and ideas drive the bottom line of businesses in a positive direction. It is a skillful art to understand, like Stefan Wilson does, the advantages of cultivating a diverse community, employee base, and talent, and then using it to penetrate barriers and better position your business. But diversity's strength truly emerges when companies rise to do the right thing for individuals.
