Press Release Summary: ADR celebrates a major milestone of over 3,000% growth in
online readership and participation. The American Diversity Report (ADR) is based on
extensive research in diversity training, organizational development and
multi-cultural literacy.

Press Release Body: The American Diversity Report (ADR), formerly known as
Communication Prose Ink, celebrates a major milestone. The ADR has grown 3,000 %
with more than 16,000 unique viewers accessing www.americandiversityreport.com this
month. Editor-in-Chief Deborah Levine oversees more than 3 dozen contributing
writers, including several Chattanoogans. The ADR provides online diversity news,
profiles analysis in key areas:
business, community, religion, culture, health, the arts, environment and
cross-cultural communication.

The American Diversity Report reflects Levine's philosophy of \'Real Diversity for
Real People.\' "Deborah has a wealth of knowledge and brings a valuable perspective
to any project or conversation. She is not afraid to break down barriers and
challenge boundaries to make things happen, but she does so in a way that is
enlightening and non-threatening. If you need someone to build a positive culture of
diversity in your organization, Deborah is the right person to facilitate the
process," says Danette Scudder, TVPPA Training Director.

The Global Leadership Class, ADR's community outreach, also celebrates its 1st year.
Twenty-three civic, service and business leaders are already enrolled in the
upcoming Class: registration ends September 10. Marcellus Scott, Director of Human
Resources for EPB, describes his Class experience, "It is one thing to understand
and value diversity, yet another to engage in a process of deepening that
understanding through exposure to perspectives we don\'t always come across in our
day to day working and social lives. The Global Leadership Class has provided just
such a perspective. Chattanooga is better for it."

The ADR and Global Leadership Class are valuable resources given Chattanooga's
global initiatives, including the new Volkswagen plant.
The Class now carries Continuing Education Units (CEU) from Chattanooga State
Technical Community College. Mary Knaff, who oversees the college's diversity and
multicultural initiatives, noted, "The Global Leadership class broadened my
perspective on the social and educational imperative of diversity...bridging the
educational gaps in our society and the social borders in our global world."
