Publication: Leadership and Management in Engineering
Volume 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper provides a summary report of the second senior executive diversity workshop held in Vienna, Virginia, on May 11, 2004. Facilitated by Bill Proudman and Michael Welp, of the consulting firm White Men as Full Diversity Partners, the workshop was attended by senior executive representatives from the private and public sectors, as well as ASCE board members and executive staff. The workshop was developed to reach a broader audience and provide participants with a clearer understanding of why it makes good business sense to approach diversity as an all-inclusive concept. The summary report illustrates the benefits of understanding first the nature, approach, and scope of white male culture as a basis for open and inclusive dialog among all members of the human spectrum in the workplace.
