JOIN US FOR DINNER CONVERSATION…
A few people having dinner can build positive relationships, establish cross-cultural communications and acknowledge our similarities. Since 2007, Salt Lake County’s Diversity Affairs Office has hosted a dinner to celebrate its community’s rich diversity.
The goal of the Diversity Dinner is to bring individuals of diverse backgrounds together to promote understanding, increase positive interactions within the community and build respect for one another as well as celebrate our similarities.
In addition to sharing a meal, guests share their own experiences throughout the night with other participants at their table. Moderator’s present questions to be answered and at the end of the meal a call-to-action is presented to those in attendance.
The dinner is offered at no cost to the general public, however, you must register to attend. Registration will begin on September 9th. The Office of Diversity & Inclusion welcomes everyone to come and join us in this celebratory night of friendly and thoughtful dialogue. For more information please call 385-468-7014.
