They are Pamela Johnson, author of the book "Everyone Is Multicultural: Bridging Cultural Influences for Business Success," and Ronald Myers, a physician, accomplished jazz musician and ordained Baptist minister. Dr. Johnson draws on more than 20 years of experience in multicultural leadership development to explain the past elements of the diversity movement, redefine the meaning of true diversity, and present a new theory of multicultural leadership. She holds a bachelor's degree in counseling guidance, master's degree in counseling and guidance, and a doctorate in counseling and guidance education. Dr. Myers is rare in his profession, as he purposely sought out places to practice medicine where no one else would. A native of Milwaukee, Myers graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
