With the goals of networking and learning, minority women came together at the Women of Color in Management Consulting Preconference Forum in Atlanta in July. As part of that event, a small group of attendees participated in a roundtable conducted by Jacqueline Durett, managing editor of Consulting magazine. During this candid forum, these consulting professionals from Deloitte, one of the sponsors of the conference, Booz Allen Hamilton, IBM Global Services, Capgemini, Xerox and The Sandra Finley Company opened up about their challenges and successes.
Consulting magazine: With women making up such a small percentage of consultants, and then with women of color making up a fraction of that, do you feel there is more pressure on you to be a role model for others?
McLemore: I don't know that I feel that my firm necessarily is putting that on me, but there is a lot of that pressure I think [I put on] myself that I want the community I come from to be proud of me and say I succeeded. That propels a lot of that, I think.
