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 third edition of the 2013 Texas Diversity Council Newsletter. I am very proud of the work we have done so far and excited about the momentum we continue to have. The growth of our mission is apparent with the addition of the Corpus Christi market, which had their first event with the Inaugural Women in Leadership Symposium. Hundreds of women gathered at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi to join our distinguished panel in a conversation of empowerment and challenges women face in climbing the corporate ladder. We look forward to maintaining this knowledge-laden event in Corpus Christi, and furthering the creation of a diverse work environment, 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
