Subj:	Publicity for events

If your organization or constituency group is sponsoring a VoD-related event
open to others, I have a few requests:

	- The US On-Line Diversity Calendar has nearly a 3 week lead time
		for listings in the monthly calendar.  If you'd like to have
		something included, please let me know with this lead time
		in mind;

	- If you send me announcements that you would like publicized to a 
		larger audience, please let me know explicitly so I can 
		distinguish this case from a FYI-type memo.

	- I'm looking at how we advertise VoD activities within the facility
		(i.e. flip charts at entrances).  If your event requires this
		kind of publicity AND you need signage, please give advance
		notice so I can line up some assistance.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi folks,

You are cordially invited to attend a presentation by Evelyn Murphy, former 
Lieutenant Governor and Acting Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on 
3/6 at 11:00 in the Stow Cafeteria.  Ms. Murphy topic will be "The Emergence of 
Women into Politics in the 90's".  I've attached other specific information to 
this note.  I'd appreciate it if you would give this wide visibililty and, of 
course, be there.

Thanks,

Gary


Evelyn Murphy, former Lieutenant Governor and Acting Governor of the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will speak in Stow on March 6th from
11:00 to 12:00.  Ms.  Murphy's presentation is titled "The Emergence of
Women in Politics in the 90's."  Ms. Murphy is sponsored by the Stow 
Valuing Diversity Committee and is the keynote speaker for the Women's
History Month events in Stow.

In 1975, Evelyn Murphy was appointed by Governor Dukakis to serve as Secretary
of Environmental Affairs for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  She led
the opposition to drilling for oil and gas on the Georges Bank; successfully
blocked the diversion of the Connecticut River; and started the state's
Heritage Park program.  For her environmental leadership, she was
honored by the national Sierra Club, the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and 
the Regional Environmental Protection Agency for New England.

Ms. Murphy ran unsuccessfully for Lt. Governor in 1982.  She was then appointed
Secretary of Economic Affairs for the Commonwealth.  In this position,
she initiated a corporate childcare program to assist firms in establishing
child care services for their employees and the surrounding community.  
She started the Centers of Excellence program to spur the state's
development of biotechnology, marine sciences, polymers and photovoltaics
as well as microelectronic circuitry.

In 1986, Evelyn Murphy ran again for Lt. Governor and won the election, becoming
the firsts woman in the state's 200 year history to hold constitutional
office.  As Lt. Governor, she was active in policy making and political
action to protect women's abortion rights, health insurance for all
citizens of the state, and opposition to the death penalty.  In 1990,
she ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Massachusetts.

Evelyn Murphy is now the managing director of Brown Rudnick Freed and Gesmer,
a regional law firm.  She and a colleague are writing a book about the eight 
women who ran for governor through the general election of 1990.  In conducting
the research for this book, she holds an appointment at Radcliffe.

Ms. Murphy received a BA from Duke University in mathematics in 1961;
a MA from Columbia University in economics in 1963; and a PH.D. in economics
from Duke University in 1965.

Please join the Stow Valuing Diversity Committee and attend this interesting
presentation.  It will be held in the Stow cafeteria.  If you have any 
questions, please contact Gary Kenefick at dtn:  276-9139; SONATA::KENEFICK
or Gary Kenefick @ OGO.

We appreciate your support by giving this notice wide distribution as well
as your attendance.

             negative patterns, we can identify them and replace them
             with positive ways of thinking. Lynn Sanford uses humor
             and compassion to highlight the most common symptoms of
             low self esteem. Tis overview will highlight findings from
             clinical study and the book Women and Self Esteem. 
             Common dilemmas among women and tools to improve one's
             self esteem.

We've been thinking that its time for African Heritage Women to come together 
and we would like you to include yourself in a meeting of African Heritage 
Women of Digital Equipment Corporation on April 2nd from 5:30 - 8:30.  We 
believe that although we are active members of other constituency groups 
there are certain issues that are unique to us as African Heritage women.  
The location will be determined based on who plans to attend.

We want to establish a forum inclusive of all African Heritage Women 
regardless of wage class, function, sexual orientation and/or location.  The 
two goals we have discussed are to:

	1)  Bring focus and visibility to the status of African Heritage 
            Women in the company. 

	2)  Provide opportunities for us to explore, network, share, support 
	    and celebrate ourselves as African Heritage Women.

This is an opportunity for us to come together to celebrate who we are and to 
make change together and to support each other in making changes together.  
Please share this opportunity with other African Heritage Women you know who 
might be interested.  Minutes of the meeting will be shared with all those 
who are interested.  All are welcome.

If you have questions feel free to call Carolynn Jones at DTN 276-8357 , 
Madelyn Clark-Robinson at DTN 223-3740  or Barbara Latimer at DTN 223-9263. 
Please consider joining us. 

Please complete the following so we can plan for this event.  Return 
completed form, by March 20th, to Barbara Latimer @MSO.

	1.  I plan to attend	    

	2.  I want to attend but cannot based on schedule conflicts.
	    Please send me the minutes.      

	3.  I want to attend but cannot based on travel.  I want to
	    input and be involved.  Please send the minutes.       

	4.  I am not interested at this time.      
	    Because

    A Message from the U.S. Diversity Organization
    
    
    Congratulations to Mercedes Sanchez and Jose Ramirez, the recently 
    appointed co-chairs of the Hispanic Leadership Group, on their new 
    roles.  The Hispanic Leadership Group is an outstanding example of 
    the leadership provided by Constituency Groups at Digital.
    
    A range of Constituency Groups exist within the company.  All are 
    employee-initiated and led.  Some groups are more formal, with an 
    organizational structure in place and regularly scheduled meeting 
    times; others are informal and meet on an ad-hoc basis.  Some seek 
    to raise awareness within the company about a particular type of 
    diversity, while others meet primarily for the purpose of affecting 
    company policy about a particular issue.
    
    All Constituency Groups have in common a focus on some type of 
    change agenda related to their difference.  They frequently act as a 
    catalyst for positive change within Digital.  The Hispanic 
    Leadership Group, for instance, sponsored two Leadership Development 
    Workshops last June, one of which contrasted "Hispanic Leadership 
    Values" with "Digital Leadership Values," and the resulting 
    implications for Hispanic and non-Hispanic employees at Digital.  It 
    is this group's leadership that also influenced Hispanic Magazine 
    to cite Digital this year as one of the 100 best employers for 
    Hispanic people.

    
    We congratulate the Hispanic Leadership Group for their exemplary 
    leadership within the company and the community, and offer our best 
    wishes for Jose and Mercedes in their new roles.
    
    If you would like more information about how to locate existing 
    Constituency Groups or how to start one, send mail to ICS::VALDIV or 
    VALDIV @MSO.

    NORTHBORO ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ACCESS CENTER (ATAC) 
     at DECWorld '92
    
    ATAC will be replicated at DECWorld '92, and all employees who plan to 
    attend on Employee Day, April 24, are encouraged to visit the Assistive
    Technology area.  The ATAC is a place where Digital employees and 
    their guests can learn about barriers that people with disabilities 
    often face, and about computer-based solutions that address those 
    barriers.  Digital's new DECtalk PC product, which primarily assists 
    PC users with visual disabilities, will be demonstrated at the event, 
    along with the full suite of products in the Access Center.
         
    DECWorld participation is being supported by the Assistive Technology
    Group, the Computing Access for People with Disabilities Program Office,
    the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Program Office, Corporate Community 
    Relations, and the Disability Strategy Committee.
    
    DECWorld Employee Day is Friday, April 24th, from 8:30-5:00 in the
    World Trade Center.  
    
    For more information contact Janet Gorman at DTN 234-4570.

    MINORITY ENHANCEMENT GROUP (MEGA)                           
    
    The Minority Enhancement Group for African-Americans (MEGA) is a 
    constituency group put together by the Ohio Valley Account Group.  Our 
    charter is to "assist the African-American professional to achieve and 
    maintain an environment that allows each employee to broaden his/her 
    support base, increase value and sense of belonging, and maximize 
    ability to contribute, directly and indirectly, to goals and objectives 
    of the corporation while at the same time pursing individual, personal 
    and career growth."
    
    MEGA is 13 members strong.  The members include individuals from all 
    functions of the field organization including ADMIN.  Our meetings are 
    held on the first Monday of each month and rotates between three 
    district sites.  The group has been in existence for two years and we 
    work closely with the OVD Valuing Diversity Board of Directors.
    
    For more information regarding MEGA, contact Steven Carter @DYO.

    CORE GROUPS IN DIGITAL
    
    For more than ten years, Core Groups have provided the opportunity for 
    Digital employees from diverse backgrounds to meet regularly to explore 
    issues of diversity in the work place.  Groups of eight to ten employees 
    typically meet once each month to explore assumptions and perceptions, 
    strip away stereotypes, and build authentic relationships with people 
    they see as different from themselves.  Core Groups have played an 
    important role in the history of Digitals Valuing Diversity work, 
    particularly in the area of personal and interpersonal 
    awareness--leading to a more empowered work force.
    
    In an effort to strengthen and reinforce the role that Core Groups have 
    played within the company, we are preparing to offer a series of Core 
    Group Leadership Workshops over the coming year.  These two-day 
    workshops will allow participants the opportunity to examine their own 
    leadership style within the context of a Core Group laboratory 
    environment.  As a pre-requisite, Core Group Leaders must have been 
    members of a Core Group (or had comparable experience).
    
    These Core Group sessions are co-sponsored by the U. S. Diversity 
    Organization and the Worldwide Diversity Education Office.  For more 
    information, on joining Core Groups or Core Group Leadership Workshops, 
    send mail to Tracey Guzman @MSO or ICS::GUZMAN.

    HISPANIC LEADERSHIP GROUP LEADERSHIP FORUM
       
    On June 6 and 7, 1991, the Digital Hispanic Leadership Group presented 
    two panel discussions as part of a two-day workshop, for the purpose of 
    exploring leadership at Digital, both as it is today, and as it needs 
    to be for the future.  The two panels were designed to present two 
    different, and potentially contrasting, perspectives on leadership.  
       
    Both panels were taped, and are available for you to use in your
    Diversity efforts.  Panelists featured include:
    
    6/6

       	Bob Palmer, V.P. Manufacturing
       	Dick Farrahar, V.P. Personnel
       	Don Zereski, V.P. U.S. Area
       	John Sims, V.P. Strategic Resources

    Tapes are available for the presentation portion of the June 6th Senior 
    Management panel (cameras were turned off during Q & A), and for both 
    the presentation and Q and A portions of the June 7th diversity panel,

               PASSOVER:  EXODUS TO FREEDOM, THEN AND NOW

         A Cultural Event Sponsored by the Jewish Constituency Group

     DATE:            Thursday, April 16
     TIME:            11 AM to 3 PM
                      12 PM: Food demonstration
     PLACE:           Nathaniel Hawthorne Conf. Rm.
                      LKG1-2, King St., Littleton, MA

     Have you ever wondered about the significance of Passover?

     Come to this open house and learn about the holiday which
     celebrates the Hebrews' freedom from bondage in Egypt, and the
     creation of the Jewish nation.

     Come discover how the meaning lives today in the massive airlift of
     Ethiopian Jews to Israel, and the freedom of emigration for Jews
     previously restricted within the Soviet Union.
  
     Come taste matzah, the most important Passover food, with typical
     toppings and beverages.  At 12 PM, watch us prepare a sweet spread
     made of apples, using both European and Middle Eastern recipes.

     We will continuously show a video about the dramatic airlift from
     Ethiopia, display  pictures, ritual objects and books, and answer 
     your questions.

Community."  Format is a brief formal presentation after which participants 
will break out into small groups for discussion.

Dr. Israel received her MA and PhD from the University of California at Los
Angeles.  She is the author of "Boston's Jewish Community:  the 1985 Combined

		How does the Jewish community work today? 
		How has intermarriage affected the Jewish community?
		What does it mean to be a Jew today?
		Where do we fit into the picture?
		Do we match the profile?  
		What are the implications of the above?

    CORE GROUPS IN DIGITAL
    
    For more than ten years, Core Groups have provided the opportunity for 
    Digital employees from diverse backgrounds to meet regularly to explore 
    issues of diversity in the work place.  Groups of eight to ten employees 
    typically meet once each month to explore assumptions and perceptions, 
    strip away stereotypes, and build authentic relationships with people 
    they see as different from themselves.  Core Groups have played an 
    important role in the history of Digitals Valuing Diversity work, 
    particularly in the area of personal and interpersonal awareness--
    leading to a more empowered workforce.
    
    In an effort to strengthen and reinforce that role Core Groups have 
    played within the company, we are offering a series of Core Group 
    Leadership Workshops.  These two-day workshops allow participants the 
    opportunity to examine their own leadership style within the context of 
    a Core Group laboratory environment.  As a prerequisite, Core Group 
    Leaders must have been members of a Core Group (or had comparable 
    experience).
    
    These Core Group sessions are cosponsored by the Diversity Organization. 
    For more information on joining Core Groups or Core Group Leadership 
    Workshops, send mail to Tracey Guzman @MSO or ICS::GUZMAN.

    MAJOR JEWISH HOLY DAYS IN SEPTEMBER 
    
    Sometimes staff events or business functions have been scheduled at 
    times when Jewish employees or customers  haven't been able to attend.  
    Perhaps this note can prevent such oversights.
    
    Digital's Jewish VoD Group knows that our holy days, which follow an 
    adjusted lunar calendar, can be confusing.  We provide this 
    information to reference when you schedule Digital events. 
    
        Monday   Sept. 28 New Year (5753), 1st day
        Tuesday  Sept. 29 New Year, 2nd day
    
        JEWISH NEW YEAR (ROSH HASHONAH) - A two-day observance that starts 
        the High Holy Days season.  It includes extended synagogue services.
    
             Thank you for your consideration
             The Jewish VoD Group

    CORE GROUPS IN DIGITAL
    
    For more than ten years, Core Groups have provided the opportunity for 
    Digital employees from diverse backgrounds to meet regularly to explore 
    issues of diversity in the work place.  Groups of eight to ten employees 
    typically meet once each month to explore assumptions and perceptions, 
    strip away stereotypes, and build authentic relationships with people 
    they see as different from themselves.  Core Groups have played an 
    important role in the history of Digital's Valuing Diversity work, 
    particularly in the area of personal and interpersonal awareness--
    leading to a more empowered work force.
    
    In an effort to strengthen and reinforce that role Core Groups have 
    played within the company, we are offering a series of Core Group 
    Leadership Workshops.  These two-day workshops allow participants the 
    opportunity to examine their own leadership style within the context of 
    a Core Group laboratory environment.  As a prerequisite, Core Group 
    Leaders must have been members of a Core Group (or had comparable 
    experience).
    
    These Core Group sessions are cosponsored by the Diversity Organization. 
    For more information on joining Core Groups or Core Group Leadership 
    Workshops, send mail to Tracey Guzman @MSO or ICS::GUZMAN.

    DECPAC IS A SUPPORT GROUP WHOSE CHARTER IS TO PROMOTE AN 
    UNDERSTANDING OF LESBIAN, GAY AND BISEXUAL ISSUES in the work-

    these ends, DECPAC currently provides educational training for
    interested groups of individuals.  For more information, contact:
