What if? Network for Diversity and Inclusion

An open mind is a terrible thing to close.

I am a recent graduate of Leadership Anne Arundel out of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. As a part of our final project I worked on a Dialogue for Leadership in a Diverse Community. The event went over very well. 80 people registered and 50 attended (on the night of a storm/tornado). There is a cry for an annual lecture. The outcome of the event will be data to shape next year's curriculum for Leadership. Have many of you participated in Leadership programs in your areas? Many counties in the U.S. have programs as well as states.

Bennie--not sure if you are in Grand Rapids, but google "Leadership Grand Rapids". I don't know a lot about it but my friend Laura participated in it.
