Presenters: Mary Kendrick: Diversity Consultant. GSO Chamber “Other Voices” facilitator.
Building on the enthusiastic response to Mary and Jada's program in June we are having them back for Part Two. We spent so much time in dialogue they were not able to get to EVERYTHING on their agenda in the two hour allotment. Let's keep up the momentum!
