The NAACP on Friday asked Gov. M. Jodi Rell and several other influential state leaders to set aside time in the immediate future so the organization could offer advice on how Rell could improve diversity within her top leadership roles. One day after Rell accepted the resignations of six state agency leaders, state National Association for the Advancement of Colored People President Scot X. Esdaile issued a letter Friday to Rell requesting an appointment to "speak directly about the inadequate representation of people of color in leadership roles within your administration."
