population will generate larger numbers of representative organizations holds true. The
graphs below (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) illustrate the relationship between the percent of each
group in the population and the number of organizations representing that group per

level; the Pearson coefficients are 0.73 for Asians and 0.87 for Latinos.
