As the founder of the National Diversity Council, I would like to welcome you to the third edition of the 2015 California Diversity Council Newsletter. We are very excited about the upcoming year and the events we have planned for our community.Our most popular undertaking, the California Diversity and Leadership Conference, will take place on October 1.
The waiting game. It's something that many have become all too familiar with or even expect. Whether it's watching Loretta Lynch become the first African-American woman to hold the U.S. Attorney General's Office, or the "wow" factor in seeing rainbow hues across the White House following the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage ruling - the wait can often lead to a monumental outcome.
Can We All Just Get Along? This question was asked a lot in the 90's and became a common tag line and is a continuing meme theme in social media. It seems like a reasonable question, but the fact of the matter is, "we can't just get along, if we don't feel that we belong." It's true in all areas of our lives, including the workplace.

Technology is all around us. Today's economy is highly driven by the latest and greatest innovations in technology. The want and need for this concept of "latest and greatest" in technology is what drives the markets competitiveness on the global front. Let's face it, most of us could not make it one day without our smartphones or tablets. Tech companies are constantly developing products to appear as the one to beat on the market.
