August Monthly Meeting
August 11, 2009
11:30 a.m. - 1:15 p.m.
In conjunction with the Annual Diversity Conference.
Diversity and Inclusion: Survival of the Fittest
This keynote presentation is the capstone of the 2009 annual Diversity and Inclusion Conference and will drive home the "call to arms" of small to large organizations that are challenged to survive in the throes of this economic crisis and beyond. John McCaa's presentation will provide an opportunity to take a renewed look at your diversity and inclusion efforts and initiatives. Mr. McCaa will address the importance of maintaining a focus on valuing and managing diversity to achieve excellence and competitive advantage. The greatest and most sustainable competitive advantage a business or service has is its human capital. Effective talent identification and management are at the core of competitive advantage and profitability. Survival of the fittest belongs to organizations with a business strategy built on the tenets of diversity and inclusion.
