By Patricia Kagerer posted 04-14-2009 01:16 PM

  

I would like to invite you on Wednesday morning at 10:45 a.m. come join us for a panel discussion on Diversity.    The world is getting smaller and  changing faster than ever and now more than ever before we must embrace and prepare for change.   Change is something that is very difficult for everyone and yet with technology the world is much smaller than it used to be and as  demonstrated by the credit crisis it is also connected financially more than ever before. We must learn to embrace the different cultures and backgrounds that different people bring to the table to be successful in the world today. 

Companies that want to be succesful navigating through the challenges and risk in business today must adopt, establish and commit to Diversity initiatives in the work place. 

Our panel will cover several questions such as:
Why is diversity important?
What is diversity?
What can companies do to improve, establish and enhance thier Diversity programs?

The panelists are successful women in the risk management, insurance and construction industries who have on thier own faced many challenges and turned these challenges into opportunities to enhance thier own careers.

Panelists are Rebecca C. Amoroso, US Insurance Leader with Deloitte, Terri Austin, Chief Diversity Officer with AIU Holdings, and Patricia Kagerer, Vice President of Risk and Safety Management with Jordan Construction.

Please post your own questions to this blog so we can be sure to address and answer your questions during our presentation.

See you in Florida,

Tricia
