As the pace of change in our industry increases, smart thinking becomes more and more important.  We need people who can bring innovative ideas, new perspectives and creative problem solving to break through current paradigms and challenge the status quo.   

Diversity is an essential element of smart thinking. By harnessing wisdom from a range of different sources we can increase the opportunities available to us to address the changes.  Diversity can come from a range of sources. The diversity that comes from a mix a gender, race, experience and the many other that can make us different from the industry norm should be welcomed.
