Annually,
the Project recruits a select number of
highly talented and motivated individuals
who have usually reached middle to senior
levels of their careers. A few high potential
individuals in the formative years of their
careers are selected.
Those selected are
vigorously promoted by a variety of direct
and indirect methods. Members profiles along
with their pictures are published in a directory
which is widely circulated to diverse publics,
including corporate chief executive officers,
high level government officials, the local
and national press and charitable organizations.
Members are given
high visibility by being featured in local
and national media such as Black Enterprise,
Ebony Jet, The Business Journal, Tribune
Newspapers, and the Arizona Republic.
Members are nominated
and selected for awards and recognitions
by many organizations including the City
of Phoenix, Girl Scouts, YWCA, The Business
Journal, and Greater Phoenix Chamber of
Commerce. They are nominated to give speeches
and write articles that are read by decision
makers. They are presented at the project's
annual dinner where they meet leaders from
the private and public sectors.
Many employers pay for the participation
of their employees including: Honeywell,
Arizona State University, Motorola, Northern
Arizona University, State Farm Insurance
Company, AT&T, American Express, City of
Phoenix, City of Tempe, State of Arizona,
Wells Fargo, and Pinnacle West. |
