Finding Diversity In Boston's Upper Ranks
ResumeA list released today of "Boston's 100 Most Influential People Of Color," or the Get Konnected 100, is trying to change how Boston thinks about diversity. It's the brainchild of Colette Phillips, president and CEO of Colette Phillips Communications.

Why does Boston needs a list of prominent minorities? Why don't we see more people of color in the mainstream power rankings?
