This book offers a revealing synopsis of the attempts of the SES to diversify its membership at a time when the possibility of historic gains in racial and gender equality are very much possible. It investigates the gender and racial bias and the progress that America is making to eliminate a very sordid history of recruitment practices and the selection of SES members.
This work is a significant contribution that will strengthen the body of knowledge in which recruitment selection, and placement of minorities and women in upper management positions fill a critical void in the 21st Century America at the Federal level, and government and the private sector in general.

Reviews
“This research is a significant and welcomed contribution to the field of Public Administration and to government/public sector upper management diversity issues in this country.”
-Prof. Otha Burton, Jr.,

“This book is not another glass ceiling unveiling but rather a deliberate disclosure of how difficult it is for certain ethnic groups and gender groups to reach their full potential in our society that continues to cater to an elitist system of decision making.”
-Prof. Carolyn Bingham Howard,
Jackson State University
“Despite the gains that women and minorities have made in public, nonprofit and private sector executive management, racial and gender barriers still exist that keep them disadvantaged as compared to white men…this is the first research to investigate the phenomena.”
