The Council on Competitiveness proposes to support the establishment of an independent, 501(c)3 organization, Building Engineering and Scientific Talent (BEST) to implement the recommendations of the Congressional Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in Science, Engineering, and Technology Development. The Report of the Commission, released in September 2000, concludes that broadening the demographic base of the U.S. technical workforce is a national economic and social imperative.The Council will support the Report's call to action by framing a strategic vision and putting in place a structure that will enable BEST to engage national leaders at the highest level. If BEST can define itself as the nation's hub for strategic insights, proven methods, and actions plan of any community or institution in the country that wishes to meet the diversity challenge, it will gain the credibility to have the grass roots and policy impact intended by the Commission. The backing of this strategy by a prestigious board, a National Leadership Council, and a Federal Liaison Group will enable BEST to create strong nationwide, leadership networks.

竞争力问题理事会提议支持建立一个独立的501（c）3组织-建筑工程和科学人才组织，以执行国会提高妇女和少数民族在科学、工程和技术发展方面的地位委员会的建议。 该委员会于2000年9月发表的报告得出结论，扩大美国技术劳动力的人口基础是国家经济和社会的当务之急，理事会将支持该报告的行动呼吁，制定一个战略远景，并建立一个结构，使BEST能够在最高级别与国家领导人接触。 如果BEST能够将自己定义为全国希望应对多样性挑战的任何社区或机构的战略见解、行之有效的方法和行动计划的中心，它将获得可信度，以产生委员会所希望的基层和政策影响。 这一战略得到了一个有声望的董事会、一个全国领导理事会和一个联邦联络小组的支持，这将使BEST能够建立强大的全国性领导网络。
