About the Event

Diversity refers to many different things. Race, gender, geographic origin, culture, age, disability, sexual orientation, economic status, marital status, and religion are just some of the characteristics that define us. Alternatively, diversity refers to people with differing professional backgrounds or personality styles.

Often, diverse teams are managed in a way that supports and maintains a spirit of clubbiness, of "in-groups" and "out-groups" and of "haves" and "have nots." For those in the "in crowd", there may be a sense of community and intimacy. For those in the "out crowd" however, there may be a sense of isolation, loneliness and even bitterness. Such a structure is not fully productive for everyone involved.

photo of Dr. Lynn FriedmanWhy manage diverse teams for competitive advantage? To the extent to which the work community is enfranchising, employees are likely to feel more invested, more committed and more likely to try their best. Moreover, employees who feel a sense of community are more likely to enjoy working together. Lynn will discuss ways to manage your team members and foster inclusivity.

Fees and Registration

Admission Fees

Admission fees help to offset the costs of our programs. Fees may vary from program to program because of the costs of food and beverages, room rental, and other services. Our attendees pay slightly different fees depending on whether they are members, nonmembers, students, chapter volunteers, or walk-ins. We also sometimes offer a program-only option for programs that are not held in restaurants.

Chapter volunteers who are working at an event (e.g., staffing the registration table, greeting newcomers) are entitled to free admission for the event. Volunteers for each event are normally pre-determined before the registration process begins. We do not accept last-minute volunteers unless we have an unanticipated need for extra help.
