Brief BIO for Marshall Howard

Nominated as “Faculty of The Year” for the Indianapolis Campus, of the University of Phoenix, for 2007 and 2010. Received Honorary Doctoral Degree in Interdisciplinary Education from International University Seminary of San Diego, CA. on 2/8/2011.

My professional career in education, human relations, civil rights, POSH, and diversity spans more than 35 years. I graduated from (HBCU) Kentucky State University, with Bachelor of Arts Degree in History and Political Science and later earned a Master of Science Degree from the University of Louisville, in Urban Planning and Community Development. My second job after graduating from Kentucky State University, was with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, and was recently recognized at the Commissions’ 50th Year Celebration in 2010.

I served as one of the Associate Director for Complaints and Compliance with the Louisville and Jefferson County Human Relations Commission. I then transferred my skills and served as the first Civil Rights Coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Economic Security and drafted their first Affirmative Action/Diversity programs, to include a program for each of the five agencies within the Department.

I have invested more than 35 (plus) years as a consultant in Multi-Cultural Diversity Initiative Management. I have counseled and consulted with many corporations, businesses, municipalities and organizations as his personal interest and focus concerns issues of Multi-Cultural Diversity and community development, in the states of Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma.

I worked for the Federal Government in Human Rights (EEO) positions for more than 11 years, served as Executive Director of the City of Topeka Kansas' Human Relations Commission and then Director of Diversity / EEO for one of Tulsa's fastest growing Companies, where I developed and managed a comprehensive Diversity Program, that I coined “CPR Diversity Initiatives).

I authored many papers and publications on EEO, Sexual Harassment Prevention (POSH), Disability Awareness, Cultural Diversity and Diversity Management issues.

I served as an Adjunct Instructor and guest speaker in Human Resources Management (Human Relations) and Organizational Behavior for the Universities of Louisville, Bellarmine College, Kentucky State University, Friends University, Langston University, Washburn University, Oral Roberts University, University of Oklahoma, University of Pittsburgh, Robert Morris University and University of Phoenix. (Tulsa, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis Campuses).

I served on many community boards and memberships in civic organizations that support Diversity and Civil Rights, (FEW) Federally Employed Women, and was appointed by the Mayor of Tulsa, to serve as a Commissioner for their Human Rights Commission. In Kansas I was appointed by the Governor to serve on their Housing Disparity Board. I am an alumni of Leadership Topeka, Leadership Tulsa, and Leadership Pittsburgh. I am currently serving as a Practitioner/Facilitator, for the University of Phoenix (Indianapolis and NWI Campuses).

My philosophy is to never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, GIVE UP, and my CUP is never less than half full.
