As a company recognized for your leadership in diversity, we would like to invite you to participate in the Northern Virginia Urban League's (NOVAUL) 2008 Diversity Leadership Survey. We will use the results of this survey to select the leading companies with outstanding diversity programs that have a presence in Northern Virginia. These organizations will be honored at our 18th Annual Community Service & Scholarship Awards Dinner being held on Friday, April 4, 2008 at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. This survey includes 31 questions and should take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete. The survey must be received by February 15, 2008. If selected, your company will be featured in a press announcement, and you will have an opportunity to showcase your diversity leadership and community service with a video presentation along with remarks from a top ranking company executive at our awards dinner on April 4th. The National Urban League Movement started 96 years ago and has over 100 affiliates nationwide charged with "Empowering Communities and Changing Lives." Here in Northern Virginia we are celebrating our 18th year of providing program services to African Americans, Latinos and other minorities. We have reached hundreds of individuals and families with training and employment services, first-time home ownership counseling, college scholarships, mentoring initiatives, youth academic and life skills programs, financial literacy workshops, and constituent advocacy. Given your commitment to community service and dedication to diversity we would consider it an honor if you completed this survey to be considered for recognition by NOVAUL. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to receiving your response to our questionnaire.
