ITAA Announces Blue Ribbon Diversity Panel The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) announced the formation of a new Blue Ribbon Diversity Panel to establish best practices to advance underrepresented groups in the IT industry. The distinguished panel will also identify key barriers and challenges to IT workplace diversity, make industry recommendations, and consolidate existing research on racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and older workers in the IT workforce. Panel findings will be issued in a report in the spring of 2003 at an ITAA gathering of technology and education leaders. The ITAA Diversity Panel is comprised of 23 top industry, education and community leaders on diversity in the information technology (IT) industry and is chaired by Robert Knowling, Chairman, SimDesk Technologies.
