The State of Diversity and Trends in the Technology Industry

On May 31st the Sun NJ/NY Black Employee Network hosted one of my mentors Alfred Edmond to speak about the state of diversity and trends in the technology industry. Alfred currently serves as the editor-in-chief of BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine and is a senior vice president of Earl G. Graves Publishing Company Inc. Of course if you know Alfred he can speak to a wide range of topics and has an opinion on almost everything - the conversation branched off into a number of issues and lasted nearly 4 hours.

He spoke at length using no presentation or notes which allowed us to solely focus on the conversation which was a great change of pace. Once again of course I'd expect nothing less from a fellow Rutgers grad ;-) I've made the audio of the session available as part of our standard practice to share the experience.
