Harmony 'How it affects the bottom line' Global diversity and corporate America By Chris Clayton News Editor During February, seven speakers are coming to SIUE to talk about African American heritage and the subject of diversity. One of these speakers, Daisy Dee Wood, manager of global diversity at General Electric, spoke on diversity as it is viewed in corporate America.

What it talked about was how population is shifting globally, and specifically here in the United States.
