One of the main goal that OLLI wants in as many presentations as possible is the important area of Diversity, which is followed in this presentation.

When each of the presentations are sent to OLLI for posting on their Handouts page, a separate set of pages will also be sent that contains all of the text descriptions about each of the persons.
