Welcome to our
Tenth Anniversary Celebration

 

The people of Diversity/Careers: Sitting in front, Sherry Bailey, account executive; Janet O. Penn, executive vice president; Roberta Renard, president & publisher; Sanford Ashley, associate publisher & director of advertising sales; and Delcina Regueiro, advertising production coordinator. Back row: Marcia Siegendorf, circulation manager; Eliana Rousso, assistant to the publisher; Gail Goldstein, senior account executive; Jose Bernales, business manager; and Pru Peterson, copy editor and editorial design manager. Below, some of our far-flung editorial staff.

What a ride the last ten years have been! As we put together our October/November 2003 tenth anniversary issue, we took the opportunity to step back and take a look at who we are and how far we've come.

The magazine started a decade ago in an office barely big enough for two desks. Now we have two locations - our New Jersey headquarters and our editorial office in New Hampshire - and quite a few more employees. The magazine has grown from our thirty-two page first edition to more than 100 pages in each issue. We've added special issues for students. And our advertiser roster has grown to include hundreds of diversity-minded companies in just about every industry.

Most successful companies agree that people are the core of an organization. I want to salute the many wonderful people who work hard to bring you Diversity/Careers. I hope they'll keep doing it for at least another ten years.

Happy birthday to Diversity/Careers, its readers, advertisers and staff!
