@Monica–Hey Monica, thanks for finding my website and for posting a comment. Sorry to hear you won't be at the NSHMBA conference this year. I actually have not finalized my plans either. Law school has a way of changing all your plans for the first year in school. But thanks for the congratulations, it's definitely an honor. Also, it was great to meet you in NOLA, and hopefully I'll see you again soon.

Hey Jeremy-

I was looking at your LinkedIn and stumbled across your personal page. Nice site, and I enjoyed your post on diversity. I won't be at the NSHMBA Conference due to my work schedule – but enjoy yourself there, and congrats on winning both scholarships! KIT.

Best Regards,
Monica

@Jeremy, I totally agree with you. We all need to do our part. Good luck with your JD/MBA program! I only got a JD and that was tough enough.

@ David--Thanks so much for your post and for you kind words. I put a lot of time thinking about what I would write considering the NBMBAA and NSHMBA conferences are coming up soon.

Having gone to school there, I completely agree with you about the Bay area. It's one of the most diverse and accepting places in the country for sure. I believe that it's certainly a microcosm of how the rest of the US will be years from now.

But even more than an environment that's color-blind, I look forward to the day when the "system" is also color-blind, where people are not held behind or made to jump through extra hurdles because of their neighborhood, schools, color, or parents' occupation. Even though people believe in equality, I agree with you, and I think we've got a lot of work to do.

Love your post on diversity. I work in the SF Bay Area and feel so fortunate because I think that the environment here is much more color-blind than in other parts of the country. But even here, we can do more to promote diversity!
