Diversity in Cedar Rapids
Diversity
Cultural opportunities are an important benefit of living in diverse community. In the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Technology Corridor, residents enjoy an enviable wealth of cultural opportunities that excel in breadth and depth.
Take a moment to view the on-line multicultural brochure:
The Technology Corridor has an active Professional Technical Diversity Network (PTDN) chapter. PTDN is a partnership between employers, the community and professional organizations with a shared commitment to attract, develop and retain diverse professional and technical specialists.
Diversity Focus, a non-profit organization in the Corridor, is devoted to enhancing the diversity of the Cedar Rapids - Iowa City area. Diversity Focus is a new initative set to integrate and coordinate existing efforts as well as identify or create new activities and programs in the Corridor.•
