CAMP DIVERSITY
Unity In Diversity: A Multicultural Conversation

Reinventing the traditional professional business conference, CAMP DIVERSITY brings together professionals from different cultural backgrounds in a natural and peaceful setting for a refreshing and inspiring weekend of professional development, wellness, teambuilding and partnering.

This camp is hosted by CIMPA, IAHMP and ALA. We want to include all minority organizations as partners. At this camp, we will formally launch the Federation of Minority Organizations, an international network of associations serving the minority market. You are invited. (Members of host and partner organizations get a discount on camp registration fees). LET US DISCOVER OUR SYNERGIES AND HARNESS OUR DIVERSITY.

CHILDREN'S CAMP
The conference runs concurrently with a camp for children from different cultures where they can begin to learn understanding, tolerance and multicultural friendships. This is our mission.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Officers and members of minority organizations; Professionals in the association, travel, meetings, event, hospitality industry as well as those who are looking into changing careers to get into the exciting world of travel and meetings; Representatives from multicultural committees of hotels, airlines, convention and visitor bureaus, the press and others who are interested in the minority market.

Families are welcome. We want you to enjoy a weekend of education and fun with your significant other, your children and grandchildren. Most recreational activities are free.

WHEN
Saturday, August 12 to Monday, August 14, 2006. We start with an inspiring luncheon keynote on August 12 and end with a BANG at Busch Gardens on August 14.

WHERE
Imagine a wooded sanctuary overlooking a pristine beach on the broad serene James River - over 125 acres of woodlands, breezes and birdsong.

We will be accommodated in comfortable lodges. Participants will enjoy the large dining hall where all-you-can-eat buffet style meals are served, Networking Club, the pool, the waterfront activities (sailing, canoeing, paddle boating, power boating, water skiing and tubing, etc.), hiking, volleyball, soccer, Climbing Wall, Zip Line, Team Building on the Challenge Course.

We wrap up each day with a campfire under the starlit summer night sky.

BEFORE OR AFTER THE CAMP
We suggest planning your family's summer vacation around the camp. The site is just a short drive to William sburg , Jamestown, Potomac Mills and the nation's capital, Washington DC.

WHAT ARE WE MEETING ABOUT?
This camp conference will focus mainly on strategic partnerships - getting to know officers and members of other minority organizations, exploring ways to pursue common goals, share resources, do joint marketing and promotions, support each others' events and meetings, maybe co-locating them to better negotiate rates and other issues of interest to minority organizations. You will also learn how to get grants and contracts from the US government and plan other fundraising activities for your organizations. There will be fun teambuilding activities in a beautiful and relaxing setting on the water. Come and start a working relationship with other minority leaders.

ATTENTION

Speakers: Please email me if you are interested in presenting.

Sponsors: WE NEED YOU! We have no Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsorships. Instead, we want to give you ownership of CAMP DIVERSITY for a weekend. We want to put your name in the camp and give you maximum exposure in the publications and memberships of host and partner organizations.

Even if the actual event is just for a weekend in August, the images will remain on websites of host and partner organizations for months before and after the campers go home with wonderful pictures (with your name on the background, of course) and fabulous memories (of which you are a part) they will share with friends, family and co-workers.

Your sponsorship will not only help your marketing efforts in a major way but will help make the dreams of disadvantaged children from minority families come true.

SPONSOR NOW, PAY LATER: If you want to be a sponsor but do not have the item in your budget this year - not to worry. We will take a pledge. We trust our friends.

COST
Your low registration fee of $350 includes 2 nights lodging in a double occupancy room, all meals, snacks and continuous coffee, all seminars, teambuilding activities and recreational activities. Best of all, it includes a contribution towards the registration of a disadvantaged child who would otherwise not be able to attend camp. Consider this your contribution to helping us build a better America
