First National Summit on Diversity in Financial Services
BRYN MAWR, PA - August 23, 2010 - The financial services industry needs to increase the level of minority representation in senior management and mid-level management positions. According to the most recent data gathered by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, white males hold approximately 64 percent of the senior management positions available in the financial services industry. Minorities are underrepresented with only 2.8 percent of senior management positions being held by African-Americans, 3 percent being held by Hispanics and 3.5 percent being held by Asian-Americans.
In an effort to address this situation, The American College, the nation's premier financial services educator, is sponsoring the first national Summit on Diversity in Financial Services this November. This important forum, limited to 80 participants, will allow leaders interested in recruiting and retaining more talent from the African-American, Latino, Asian, Women and LGBT markets to hear the latest thinking on diversity issues from national thought leaders including The American College's world-renowned faculty. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to network and discuss best practices.
