Key
themes from the World Diversity Leadership Summit 2010
Color Magazine Share    
Nearly 350 participants came together for the 2010 World Diversity Leadership Summit at the Harvard Medical School in Boston.

advocates for inclusion and promotes interdependence among constituencies. More

She says even people who favor diversity and resist bias may unintentionally act upon implicit bias.
