"What started last year as a small college event to educate the community on
Diversity in Business, Health & Careers, has expanded to a few more
campuses this year. Diversity Week Celebration as it is now known has included
topics such as: Diversity; in the Legal profession, in Government, in Media, in
Business, in Health, in Education, in Generations, Diversity and Women, and Women
Entrepreneurs.

Diversity week offers everyone
the chance to network and hear from PHD’s, Attorneys, government and business
leaders, who will share their thoughts on the positive impacts of diversity in
their fields.
In addition to the
thought-provoking speaker panels Diversity Week will feature vendor trade
shows, networking opportunities, corporate matchmaking, entertainment and door
prizes. The three days of events are free, but the Speaker Panels and Luncheons
are $35 a low cost thanks to sponsors such as Rockwell Automation, Lorain
National Bank and others. Without sponsors our cost would be around $45 per
person at the daytime event and $75 for the Gala. While the price of food,
venues and entertainment has gone up we still want to take up a collection for
the Esperanza Scholarship Fund, and the Urban League, but still be affordable
for folks to come.
To end the week of Celebration, on Saturday March 23rd, the Diversity Chamber will host a Black, Red and White Tie Celebration Gala that will introduce a Celebrity Fashion Show; with various Television Personalities, Live Entertainment, An Elegant Dinner, A Comedian, A D.J., and a Red Carpet Photo Session. Advance Tickets $55- or 2/$100
