Tolerance and Diversity Make Dollars and Sense

Dunno how your editor missed the excellent column, "There Ought To Be A Law" by Ron Gifford, in last week's issue (9-15 April 2007)of The Indianapolis Business Journal.

Gifford notes that as a state, "We need talent to succeed; talent thrives where there's tolerance, because tolerance fosters diversity; and diversity fuels innovation, which attracts more talent."

The Nationalities Council of Indiana (host for this blog) couldn't agree more!

If you want to see the face of ethnic diversity in Indy, check out one of our meetings -- or, better yet -- add the International Festival to your calendar. This year's dates are 15-18 November. We've grown, so we're moving to the larger West Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
