Meet Dennis Kennedy
I am very thrilled about the launch of the Tri-State Diversity Council. In 2004, I walked away from my job to follow my vision of starting the Texas Diversity Council. My hope was to create a statewide organization that would promote diversity & inclusion across the state. I definitely saw the need for an organization that would take a leadership role in championing diversity throughout Texas. Four years later, I found myself heading up the launch of the National Diversity Council.
The vision of the Tri-State Diversity Council is to establish regional and local councils across the states of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. These councils will take a leadership role in promoting diversity and inclusion within our workplaces and communities. Each state council will have its own board of directors, staff and officers that will drive initiatives locally. In fact, local impact is what we want to achieve. Our purpose is to create local dialogue on the value of diversity and inclusion. Ultimately, our goal is to advocate for diversity as a business imperative – to increase our chances to innovate and create sustainable wealth for our communities.
For the Tri-State Diversity Council to succeed, we need the involvement of organizations and individuals that believe in diversity as a competitive advantage. I invite you to be part of this initiative and to join our organization today.
