BALTIMORE—Top German automobile manufacturing company BMW has confirmed that it will sponsor Women of Color magazine’s 18^th Annual Women of Color Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Conference which is scheduled to take place October 17-19 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.

The 2013 Women of Color STEM conference is a multicultural event for women in scientific and technical careers. The conference features several key speakers who will address the underrepresentation of women in these disciplines. The conference will also host training seminars that will highlight important topics such as leadership and professional skills, diversity and inclusion, technical leadership and innovation and career outlook.

“I am elated that BMW has agreed to be one of our sponsors for the Women of Color STEM Conference,” says Career Communication Group's chairman and CEO, Dr. Tyrone D. Taborn. “This sponsorship has affirmed that a company of great caliber such as BMW understands the importance of STEM careers and believes in the advancement of women in this field. Career Communications Group is honored to have BMW’s support and commitment.”

Considering that women are less likely to be employed in STEM fields than men, the Women of Color STEM Conference creates an informal, trusted community that provides support specifically to women professionals and students who seek encouragement and guidance as they prepare to enter into their professions. In addition to providing support, this conference offers a unique opportunity to increase recruitment, retention, professional development and employee recognition capabilities.
