NMCI holds annual conferences in the spring and fall that bring individuals from many fields together for professional development, networking, and exploration of vital issues in the diversity field. Leaders from academia, business, and government present the latest thinking and action on diversity issues to conference participants. NMCI conferences offer a large variety of workshops on issues that define and redefine the diversity field.

This conference will feature speakers and workshops presented by nationally recognized experts on workplace diversity, multicultural education, cultural awareness and cross-cultural dialogue.

NMCI is highly regarded for its intensive Training of Trainers series and other 4-day and 2-day workshops, bringing together a multidisciplinary group of participants from across the U.S. and several countries from management, administration, human resources, education, and social and health services.

Our conferences provide an invaluable opportunity to meet and network with others involved in diversity issues and offer an excellent resource for personal and professional development.

Purpose of the Conference

Issues of culture, ethnicity, race, age, gender, and sexual orientation have assumed greater significance in the United States as a result of changing demographics and the growing national awareness of differences. New skills and knowledge are required in fields such as workforce diversity, human resource management, education, and conflict resolution.

The major goals of this conference are to: (1) offer an opportunity for in-depth diversity training and skills-building; (2) focus on some of the unique issues that professionals face in working with a culturally diverse population; and (3) create a multicultural environment in which an open, cross-cultural dialogue can occur.
