This is an excellent article, but one important aspect of diversity I find often overlooked is the issue of class. Many organizations are mono class (often middle and upper class) oriented without realizing it. At one upper class university we announced a support group for working class people that were the first in their families to attend a university and we were overwhlemed with the turn out. Building an organization around different class perspectives will enrich the organization tremendously.

Thanks, so much for your comments Larry and great point about the issue of class. I'm responding on behalf of Roberta who is currently in India for the IAEVG conference. Unfortunately her Internet isn't cooperating so she is unable to post a reply herself, but will comment when she returns.
