March 22, 2010

This year's diversity conference, 'Diversity in the 21st Century: What the Recession Revealed," is designed to offer the opportunity to engage in those sometimes difficult discussions about diversity so that we can begin to recognize how our own biases may inhibit progress toward our shared goals and develop strategies to reduce their impact.
