LEAP Board Representation Research Reports

As part of our mission to inform society and empower communities, LEAP launched in 2009 a research initiative to assess the current API representation at the highest levels of leadership positions in various sectors of our society.

The intent of this baseline research is to enable businesses, public institutions, as well as political, community and educational leaders to develop and implement strategies for sustainable growth and advocacy in this arena in order to highlight the need for further work in API representation.
