<h3><strong>Diversity in Public Service (D-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<strong><em>"If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity."</em></strong><br /> <br />- John F. Kennedy <br /> <br /> Age, economic, educational, ethnic, gender and racial diversity are important issues playing out at every level of the civic sphere. Changes in demographic characteristics of populations necessitate appropriate diversification in the public service workforce in order to build a more egalitarian society. Wherever possible, administrators in every public organization responsible for the delivery of public goods and services should ideally reflect the composition of the populations that they serve. The same applies to firefighters, and law enforcement officers and other front-line employees in the public service such as nurses, teachers, and public transportation employees.<br /> <br />Reflecting the diversity of the population in the public workforce communicates to the public that their interests are being understood because people very much like them will be the ones assisting and interacting with them regarding their concerns and applications for public service. There is a general belief that people feel most comfortable with people just like themselves and expect to be better understood by their own kind.<br /> <br />Another important reason for diversity in public service is that it imports diverse perspectives on issues and therefore diverse approaches to problem solving and conflict resolution. Diversity in public service also fosters collaboration and cooperation across the different groups that comprise the population.

Description
An account of the resource
From Wikipedia: Nellie Miller Mann was a prominent member of the Mennonite Church and a renowned figure in the Near East Relief, an organization to assist refugees of war and massacre in and around the Middle East. During her time in the Near East Relief (now Near East Foundation), Nellie Miller Mann was instrumental in caring for hundreds of Armenian refugees who had survived the Armenian Genocide. After joining the Near East Relief, she immediately set sail to Syria where she was to assist Armenian refugees who have been deported outside of the Ottoman Empire as a result of the Armenian Genocide. It was decided by the committee that Miller-Mann was to be shipped to Beirut where she was to serve as secretary to Ray Bender, the treasurer of the Near East Relief in the Beirut headquarters While in Beirut, Miller-Mann went beyond her duties as a secretary and assisted as many orphans as possible in the surrounding area. The orphans by this time had reached an estimated 130,000. Throughout this period, Mann kept a diary where she wrote extensively about the plight of the orphans and her service to various orphanages. She notes that when many of the orphaned children arrived in Syria, they were placed in one of the 18 or 20 orphanages in the vicinity, where they were fed, clothed, given medical care and given a vocational education.
