This thorough report makes the business case for capitalizing on the talents
of African-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic women managers and professionals.

is a necessity in today's environment because of the demographic diversity
of the labor pool, the competitive advantage derived from diverse perspectives,
the buying power of women of color as consumers and business owners, the
