Meeting the chalienges of a rapidly chnl;;;i;g—;_;l?iu
increasingly diverse world is more important
‘than ever as our community recognizes diversity as
a critical success factor in today's marketplace.
We are now part of a worldwide economy with
competition coming from nearly every continent.
For this reason we need every bit of diversity that
will make us more creative and open to change.
Cultural diversity brings fresh ideas and differing
insights to each and every company. Without
diversity, there can be no innovation; without
innovation, there can be no new wealth. Long-last
ing success can be achieved when you hire, pro
mote and encourage diverse people and their ideas.
