 I think it's important that the city places value on diversity because I think it's important that the city's workforce and staff are representative of what kind of diversity is reflected in the community. Diversity is a good thing. Working here for 10 years, I have seen diversity changing and it's good because it brings different perspectives, different ideas and it gives us more options to find solutions. In my job, we deal with all cultures and a lot of those cultures have very different ideas of food safety and child safety and how to handle the businesses that they operate. And so I have to understand where they're coming from in order for us to find a middle ground. Diversity is definitely interesting in my department. I work in IT so it is very male dominated environment. And I think that the city and specifically my department does a good job of trying to represent diversity and also accommodate diversity of whoever, you know, the different beliefs and feelings in our department. In my department, diversity is important because we have different ideas and opinions and we should all embrace those ideas and opinions. Diversity is very important because it provides our department or our organization different ways of people think that would benefit a city as a whole in our level of service. Diversity comes in various forms. I mean, it's gender, it's race, it's experience, it's culture. So to be diverse or to have a city that is diverse, it just encompasses so many components in its acceptance. If you're looking for a place of diversity, if you're looking for a place of culture, if you're looking for a place to work where every background, every conceivable background meets city of Fort Worth is where you want to be.
