Hello and Happy New Year! For the past three years, the Michigan Diversity Council (MIDC) has been a dynamic platform for learning and dialogue surrounding the challenges and opportunities of diversity in the workplace. We have listened to member feedback regarding programming topics, and overwhelmingly, we heard that your most pressing workplace diversity issues focus on recruiting and retaining talent. So in 2013, we will tackle the topic with a series of programming that features industry experts and highlights best practices in our region.

I have the privilege of working in San Francisco as faculty member in the management discipline of a university that focuses primarily on business.

Often, one of the many hallmarks of these successful young entrepreneurs is the way they exercise leadership.
