prejudicial jokes, remarks, and slurs. Participants will also
discover how to be more attentive to diversity and racism in the
workplace and community.

Here is what people are saying about the tools and insights from this
diversity workshop:
"[Welcoming Diversity] is the most powerful tool for effectively
removing the barriers to diversity in the workplace. The mission of
government is to address the needs of the people and we cannot go
forward as a nation until we learn to recognize and fully utilize the
talent, creativity, and beauty of all of our people. NCBI is the best
way that this government agency has found to deal positively with
diversity issues."
-Rosemary Alexander, Executive Director of JobNet, Massachusetts
Division of Employment and Training
"[Welcoming Diversity] work is making a profound difference in the
urban life experience of the 90's in Chicago. The model takes people
who are focused on turf issues and leads them towards a common goal."
-Clarence Wood, Chair, The City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations
