Personally, if orgs choose to seperate themselves into other councils and ethnic founded orgs, then they segregate themselves further. I am a member of a multiculturally founded org, but part of IFC. We ran with the big dogs and it has helped us grow and helped our publicity.
I'm not knocking smaller, ethnic orgs, but wouldn't you want to be held at the same standard as the proven and powerhouses? How can you grow and hold yourself as a professional, productive, growing and active org if you just segregate yourself to one corner?
Thoughts?
