We are very pleased to be back here at ‘the former Naval Training Center and to see so many familiar faces and new ones as well; welcome! ‘This year’s Diversity Summit promises to be even bigger and better than last year with more keynote speakers, more workshops, and more time to connect with each other in formal and informal networking events. Our theme, Moving Beyond Talk to Action: Building a Diverse 21st Century Organization, was deliberately chosen as a call to action to all diversity practitioners and organizational leaders. Frankly speaking, we believe itis time for all of us to grab the wheel and ush it forward. It's no longer enough for us to just talk-the-talk on diversity - we need to get our walking shoes on! To speed our effort, each and 10 —_DIVERSITY WORKS MAGAZINE every one of our keynoters, workshop presenters and exhibitors has been given marching orders to provide our conference attendees with realistic, achievable processes, goals and techniques for moving beyond talk and into action. But, as the old saying goes, we can't do this alone = we need to work together, to support one another, and hold each other up when times get tough. And if ever there was a reason to hold this, Diversity Summmit it would be to acknowledge and build upon our mutual dependency. Because building a diverse 21st century organization can't be accomplished in a vacuum. This colossal effort needs leadership from our conference presenters, speakers, staff, supporters, volunteers, parti and of course our sponsors. So thank you in advance for attending this year's Summit; thank you for supporting this unique event; enjoy it, learn from it and perhaps most importantly...take it all home and get to work!
