ABOUT Government Executives Network Government Executives Network organizes, produces and runs online learning events for public sector executives, professionals and managers. The events deliver actionable, “how-to” information, best practices and practical advice from leading experts and successful public sector executives -- information that attendees are able to put into practice immediately. The trainings are interactive to allow for knowledge sharing between the presenter and attendees. In an environment of limited budgets and even more limited time, our online training events provide the public sector with development opportunities to keep abreast of best practices and learn from those in the forefront of public sector performance. For more information: http://cms.goven.org/index.php?id=40

ABOUT Our On-Line Seminars / Webcasts Our online seminars are designed with one simple yet imperative consideration in mind – to provide you with information, best practices, advice and tools that you will be able to put into practice immediately after the seminar – not theory.

While it’s not always possible to get the funds or give up the time to go to expensive conferences, that shouldn’t mean you should go without furthering your knowledge and skills. And while podcasts and many webcasts lack the interactivity and connection with the presenters and participants, Government Executives Network has designed a series of online seminars, each only 90 minutes long, that are interactive and focused on knowledge sharing between presenters and participants. They are designed to give our attendees access to actionable, “how-to” information from leading experts and successful public sector executives. We deliver answers to problems and guidance on tough issues. Time is always reserved at the end for Q&A and discussion. In an environment of limited budgets and even more limited time, our 90-minute webcasts are great ways to keep abreast of best practices and learn from those in the forefront of public sector performance.

If you can’t make any of our upcoming seminars, you can purchase a replay – all are archived and available for replay for 3 months. For more information or to order a replay, please follow this link: http://cms.goven.org/index.php?id=52

Well, it is clear why we are pounded on "diversity" now, people are making money off of it. Big money. So they concoct the most irrational crap to throw at Executives who would rather die than have their companies labled as anti this, anti that, insensitive, hateful, sexist, homophobic, ad nauseum. And the Executives cave in immediately and spend the bucks to get their employees indoctrinated in thought control that would make George Orwell blush.

How about this: The muslim learn to interact with the countries they decide to live in if they are other than muslim countries, such as the states. Why should we "learn" to interact with them? They are in our country and should behave accordingly. If we go to Saudi Arabia for instance, do they bend themselves backwards in order to "interact" with us?

This PC crap needs to be halted now, if not sooner.

Guess which part of my posterior the Muzzie “culture” (they’ve got yogurt? Who knew?) can kiss?

“Diversity”, “multiculturalism” is just another tool of the left to destroy America and Western civlization.

Total bravo sierra.

Who’s the bigger enemy, the left or the Islamofascist/Nazis? They’re one and the same to me.

Diversity is the new racism.

Diversity means “white people suck”.

Any program that does not mention the facts about Islam (no “religion of peace” BS) is preaching real intolerance and hate.

Somali scam. These vermin are great at this stuff. The limp wrists, sob sisters and fellow travelers in government and academia will line up for this and the Somali Mohammedan “Webcast leader” will laugh all the way to the local Al-Qa-eda bagman.

“This PC crap needs to be halted now, if not sooner.”

Multiculturalism is national suicide, and political correctness is the cyanide capsule.
