The Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center is currently accepting workshop/session ideas for our annual Diversity Leadership Conference (DLC) happening Friday, February 21st from 3-7 pm.
DLC is an annual event that is intended to showcase the multiple ways in which leadership lives in our communities.
