The
Business Community Needs Your Opinion: Take GLI's 2011 Public Policy
Survey!
Five minutes of your time can have a
significant impact on GLI’s legislative priorities. We invite you to
share your opinions on the issues impacting your business by taking
GLI’s 2011 Public Policy Survey. This year’s survey is an
opportunity for you to share which policy areas need our greatest
attention.
Click here to take
GLI’s 2011 Survey, which covers business priorities like taxes,
energy, regulation and more. Your answers will be kept strictly
confidential.
As
in past years, GLI wants to offer HLBC the opportunity to share the
survey with its members. This survey will provide valuable
insight into HLBC members’ legislative priorities; it will also help
all of us gain a better understanding of the needs across the entire
business community. This will ensure we have a stronger, more
diverse voice in Metro Hall, Frankfort and Washington.
Below is a link to the survey exclusively
for HLBC members.

GLI advocates for legislation that
improves the business climate so companies can grow, and it relies
on the annual Policy Survey to help guide this leadership. We hope
you will participate in the 2011 survey and help GLI advocate for
improvements at the local, state and federal government levels. The
survey will close in two weeks.
Thank you for your engagement with GLI’s
public policy process.

The Hispanic Latino Business Council is
proud to present Andres Tapia, Chief Diversity Officer /Emerging
Workforce Solutions Leader, Hewitt Associates. Andres will share an
insightful discussion the way to the next generation of diversity
work. The Inclusion Paradox breaks ground in challenging the notion
that the melting pot leads to inclusion and that current best
practices will be enough to achieve breakthroughs. It offers dynamic
guidelines for diversity in a new era.
The Inclusion Paradox: The Obama Era and
the Transformation of Global Diversity explores the impact of the
Obama phenomenon not from a political but rather from a cultural
perspective. Sure there are myriad political implications to be
made, anywhere from an analysis of Blue State / Red State shifts to
legitimate policy debates. No matter how these things get hashed
out, in addition there is an undeniable, transformative,
culture-change story is unfolding that includes all of us globally.
There are profound cultural implications of an Obama Era to culture
in the United States as well as globally that will affect our
personal, group, and institutional relationships and how we go about
doing our work strategically and day-to-day. Regardless of one’s
political preferences and passions, we are all players in the
culture-change drama.
