Diversity: The Value in Differences

Talking about diversity for most people is like bringing up a dirty family secret at the picnic table during the family reunion. It's uncomfortable and painful. Most people would rather avoid it or tip toe around the toughest parts. Every person has an opinion about race, culture, religion, gender, and sexual orientation, yet many feel awkward expressing it because of some anticipated backlash.

In a presentation tailored for development professionals, she will address faulty stereotypes and challenge us to think about the way we think when it comes to living near, socializing with or working in an environment where everybody's not the same. Betty believes that fostering an open dialogue is the most important effort to build knowledge, promote healing, and increase respect for cultural differences. For the open-minded, this presentation will change beliefs.
