Public Service Leadership Summit Posted on July 05, 2011 by Dawn Chase, Manager of Diversity and Inclusion The National Urban Fellows (NUF), held a Public Service Leadership Diversity Summit in Atlanta to inspire excellence and diversity in public service leadership with a dual emphasis on individuals and systems. Over 125 organizations (government, nonprofit) have partnered with the NUF to advance this movement. Our country is composed of one-third (34%) people of color – a population that will grow to 54% by 2042 based on the U.S. Diversity is not the “code word” for affirmative action; diversity is a voluntary act of inclusion of differences; while affirmative action is a policy that was put in place to counter historical acts of discrimination based on race, color, gender or religion. The NAACP is a proud supporter of the Public Service Leadership Diversity Initiative.
