The author notes that this it the piece that should have been cited. Likely an AI hallucination? Bakker, K., Simms, R., Joe, N., & Harris, L. (2018).

It is only through DEI and similar efforts that such progress is made. Finding, training, recruiting and supporting people from these underrepresented populations to join the ranks and advance to leadership positions--so that leadership better reflects the communities they serve.

As such, "minority representation in the water sector’s executive ranks has more than tripled since 2011." Yet, important to keep in mind that "The American water sector’s executive ranks are far less diverse than the American population, but the progress toward representative diversity is clear."

From Manny: "Today, nearly 13% of water system CEOs are members of racial and/or ethnic minorities. A little over 5% of CEOs are now Black, 4% are Hispanic, and 3% are Asian. This increase... is... similar to what we see with gender."

Among his findings, in 2011, most 'American water utility chief executive officers (CEOs) -- were overwhelmingly white, non-Hispanic men.' Indeed, 96% white and non-Hispanic.
Since then, there has been slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

Thank God. You should not have voted yes on some of the other clowns that got through. We need all representatives to represent the interests of their constituents--not of the administration
