Celebration of Diversity

Thursday,
January 20, 2011
8 am to 5 pm
Toronto Board of Trade
First Canadian Place, Suite 350
Toronto, Onatrio |
Due to the overwhelming response
from our successful inaugural launch of the NPA Diversity @ Work
Leadership Series, Skills for Change has planned our 2011 Leadership
series entitled: “Integrating Diversity in Our Work Environment”.
This Leadership Series will centre on the theme of diversity
management.
The Diversity @ Work Leadership Series is an informative and
engaging opportunity for business and community leaders to share
their knowledge, experience and strategies of how they are employing
cultural diversity as a key element of success.
At this event, attendees will be able to participate in an
interactive series of sessions that showcase successful strategies
in introducing diversity in all our business processes. Keynote
speakers will introduce strategies they have created to bring about
impactful change with diversity in the workplace.
The Series will be presented in two parts:
An interactive forum where a
selection of past New Pioneers Awards recipients, business and
community leaders share their accomplishments as a way to inspire
others. There are over 100 successful immigrants and refugees (past
NPA Award Recipients) to draw from for this leadership panel.
The panel will be comprised of outstanding individuals who have
prepared the way for thousands of newcomers to Canada, each
demonstrating leadership that motivates others to follow in their
footsteps. They will be speaking about how, as immigrants, they have
implemented and introduced strategies to attract the best and
brightest new immigrants. We will be offering a roster of key-note
presenters in a panel discussion where each speaker will be
requested to share the key elements of their leadership success with
attendees.

With the theme of “Diversity
Management”, top keynote speakers will guide participants through
one hour sessions on initiatives they have introduced into their
organization. Topics include, “Recruiting and Retaining a Diverse
