    "HR professionals are always seeking ways to create or supplement or diversity initiatives.  Though intentions may be good, many times these initiatives fall short of intended outcomes.  In this session, HR professionals will be introduced to creative ways to solve their diversity initiative dilemmas by using community resources and collaborations that will be sustainable and increase employee engagement."
