Hi everyone,
I'd like to remind you of the diversity conference we've organized for July 16-17. The goal is to bridge the research-practice gap in the area of diversity management. This year's theme is cultural competence. We've got some great speakers. Also, the 90 minute sessions will provide ample opportunity for participant involvement. I hope you can join us. The registration fee for academics is quite reasonable (at least until
June 10 - the deadline for the early bird rate) and the Hilton
room rate is only $119. Come for the conference and stay for a vacation in the nation's capital!
Cheers,
David
