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

Dennis Kenedy As the founder of the National Diversity Council, I would like to welcome you to the first quarter edition of the 2016 Georgia Diversity Council Newsletter. We are very excited about the upcoming year and the events we have planned for our community.

We are very excited for the growth that the GADC is experiencing and look forward to continued growth as we engage business and community leaders in our educational events and programs. These programs offer attendees numerous benefits and learning opportunities through various themes, discussion topics, and speakers who advocate the importance of diversity and inclusion efforts. We look forward to maintaining these knowledge-laden events in Georgia, and furthering the creation of a diverse and inclusive workforce, where people from all walks of life are able to share their fresh perspectives and viewpoints.

As the Georgia Diversity Council continues to grow, we will continue to add initiatives and programs that address an array of topics. Some of these topics could include corporate and social responsibility, LGBT-Allies, diversity and inclusion topics within the healthcare industry, and Veterans' needs in the workplace, amongst others. We will also offer consulting and mentoring services specifically catered to your organization's needs. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of becoming a corporate partner organization, please contact [email protected].

For a complete list of all our 2016 events, please visit our agenda located on our website at www.georgiadiversitycouncil.org. I hope you will have the opportunity to participate in some of our upcoming 2016 events and learn more about our organization, as we continue to champion, educate, and raise awareness about diversity issues in Georgia - one organization and one community at a time.

Sincerely, Dennis Kennedy Founder and CEO - National Diversity Council
