Participant Success Story
I started working with DTUI after the CEO of the company I work for recruited me to serve as the first cultural diversity leader. I did not know anything about the position or responsibilities. Luckily, I found DTUI. I got so much value out of the program that I received the title Vice President of Diversity and a large salary increase. I owe it to the work I did with Dr. Billy Vaughn and DTUI.
