We attended a Vietnamese New Year party last Saturday night. The food was awesome and our hostess made sure that she made plenty of dishes without pork. Now that’s hospitality and inclusion! As we talked about rituals and traditions I learned that if you think good thoughts about good things on the New Year, then that is how your year will be. And, the opposite would also apply, according to our hosts.

We are busy planning our 2012 conference and travel schedules. I will be in the Washington DC area Feb. 5-12 to participate in JDAM 2012 Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill and am speaking at several locations in Washington DC. I will be in Los Angeles Feb. 28 and 29 keynoting the Los Angeles Jewish Community Inclusion Conference Feb. 29 and speaking at other events.
I will also be in the Baltimore MD area the first week of May.
Please contact me to chat about how we, at Inclusion Innovations, can partner with you to turn your good intentions into action!
Happy 2012 and warmest regards,
