6. Is There A Need For MiTS in 2010? “ If everybody around the table is the same, the same ideas will tend to come up. If you have a diversity of race, gender, age, educational and different life experiences, people will attack a problem from different perspectives, and that will lead to innovation,” said Caroline Simard, research director for the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology. “In an industry that thrives on innovation, like high tech, it’s especially important “Cisco believes an inclusive culture promotes creativity, innovation and drives collaboration,” said Ken Lotich, a company spokesman “ I was the only African-American in every IT job I’ve ever had, ” said Derek Anderson, a 24-year valley veteran who has worked at Adobe Systems, Cisco and other companies “ I’m typically the only Latino, the only Mexican-American, in my class,” said De La Cruz, a 34-year-old with a quiet demeanor. During a recent internship at the software company SAP in Palo Alto, he saw “maybe five other Latinos on the SAP campus. I’ve learned to adjust to it. You have to get used to it; it’s a major motivation of mine to keep working in this field.” Source: Mercury News/LITSA http://techlatino.org/2010/blacks-latinos-and-women-lose-ground-at-silicon-valley-tech-companies-2
