WHAT WORKS Each year, 15 women-of-color executives meet to review and refresh their multicultural women's strategy.

MENTORING MARVEL Women can phone in and listen as key multicultural executives share their career and work/life balance advice. Last year, these teleconferences were such a hit that more than 1,000 women-of-color employees joined in on the conversations—an increase of 40% over the prior year.

WHAT'S COOL
To get seventh- and eighth-grade girls pumped about math and science, IBM sets up one-week education camps that target inner-city schools. Campers are paired with a female IBM volunteer who serves as mentor throughout the school year.

OUTSTANDING PROGRAM
