The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten. - Unknown

Gadsden Chapter IAAP P.O. Box 8584 Gadsden, AL 35902 [email protected] September’s Meeting Our first chapter meeting was held on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Mr. David Collins, job developer at Gadsden State Community College, was our guest speaker. The theme was “Breaking Barriers.” We looked at tips for working with a diverse group of coworkers and ways to communicate through diversity issues. The information shared was very helpful because we all are unique and we should value the differences in others.
