2019 NDC Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT HISTORY The National Diversity Council (NDC) is the first non-profit organization to bring together the private, public and non-profit sectors to discuss the many dimensions and benefits of a multicultural environment. The success of the Texas Diversity Council, established in 2004, served as a catalyst for the NDC, launched in the fall of 2008. The NDC is a forerunner of community-based national organizations that champion diversity and inclusion across the country. Our Vision on Making the World a Better Place VISION & MISSION The vision of the NDC is to cultivate a nationwide network of affiliated councils to advance diversity and equity by transforming our workplaces and communities into inclusive environments where individuals are valued for their talents and empowered to reach their fullest potential. The mission of the NDC is to be both a resource and an advocate for the value of diversity and inclusion. The NDC serves as the umbrella organization to support our statewide and regional affiliates, which foster an understanding of diversity and inclusion as a dynamic strategy for business success and community well-being through various initiatives.

Thank you, Dennis Kennedy Founder & Chair National Diversity Council Greetings, Over the course of 2019, we welcomed President Barack Obama as the keynote speaker for our National Diversity and Leadership Conference; unveiled our PRIDE Worldwide celebration in Mexico City; kicked off Legal Diversity Week featuring former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and celebrated the 2019 Dubai Women in Leadership Symposium. 6 National Diversity Council In April, we kicked off our annual Diversity and Leadership Conference featuring a special session with none other than President Barack Obama himself. He charmed us with his wit and imparted words of wisdom on the importance of inclusion and the role it plays in making our country one of the greatest in the world. In June, we celebrated PRIDE Month globally, with the launch of our 2019 Mexico City LGBTQ+ Cumbre de la Unidad with the theme #PrideWorldWide. We also partnered with SKYY Vodka and John Cena for a social media campaign promoting “the beauty in diversity” from July 1-July 4 that raised $35,000 in charitable giving for the National Diversity Council. In October, we hosted a top 50 general counsel dinner, featuring 82nd U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, who served from 2009-2015 under the Obama Administration. Holder was the first African American to hold the position of U.S. Attorney General (in both a confirmed and acting position). Sincerely, Angeles Valenciano CEO National Diversity Council Dear National Diversity Council Family, We would like to thank you all for joining the National Diversity Council, as we work tirelessly to improve diversity and inclusion in workplaces and communities around the world.
