Rocky lauds diversity at Washington event
Anderson's commitment to diversity, whether creating a social outlet for minorities or improving the city's hiring practices, has made him a "star" among those who work on diversity issues, said Diversity Best Practices spokeswoman Carole Florman.
On Wednesday, Diversity Best Practices released the 2007 Wow! Facts book, which outlines demographic information on women, Latinos, seniors, African-Americans, Asians, people with disabilities and other groups.
In his book club example, Anderson said that when he started the club, he "sought out people whose backgrounds and life experiences differ substantially."
His group now includes a white, lesbian lawyer; a Zimbabwe native; a lesbian rabbi; a female Hispanic educator; and a white male Catholic physical therapist. Anderson described himself as a "white ex-Mormon, recovering lawyer and soon-to-be-recovering politician."
