Diversity in Action - The Local Impact of Globalization
April 26 - 29, 2007
Radisson Plaza Hotel Minneapolis
35 South 7th Street
Minneapolis, MN 55402
Much has been written about the impact of
globalization and the resulting interdependence
of the world’s markets and businesses, driven in
part by technological advancements and the
growth of the internet. But globalization is also
impacting our communities and our daily lives.
Changing demographics, shifting employment
patterns, the challenges in our educational systems,
the food we eat and the clothes we wear
are just a few examples of the pervasive impact
of globalization.
Thus, it is critically important that as our population
becomes more diverse and as international
influences continue to directly affect our communities
and culture, we redouble our efforts to
create and sustain an inclusive and equitable
society. NMCI’s 24th Annual Diversity Leadership
Institute will help participants develop both the
personal and professional skills to maximize the
power of diversity in today’s global society.
