African-American sourcing

[Maria Rehan]

Hello,

I came across a difficult question (not really aware of this). 

"How to source African American developers and bring them through process?"

Is there anyone who can help on this?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Maria.

As with any search, try to think of what is a likely indicator that someone meets your search requirements.

Looking for online communities for your target demographic is a great way to start.

Thanks Dave, appreciate your reply.

I am considering groups, forums for this but also looking for other creative ways. Any other idea?

The NBMBAA, National Black MBA Association is a good resource. Also particpants or board memebers of some Historically Black civil rights organziations like National Urban League?
