During the Commission's Annual Meeting on May 16, Glenn was among eight member companies who were awarded the "Best in Class" for building and maintaining a diverse organization. Center Director Dr. Woodrow Whitlow Jr. accepted the award in the category of Senior Staff Diversity Nonprofit/Government.
"NASA Glenn's leadership team actively supports diversity in all that we do, from recruiting new scientists and engineers for research project management, to providing opportunities for leadership development, promotions and awards," Whitlow said. "As a science and engineering organization committed to diversity, we have created an effective and diverse senior leadership team. Together, we reflect our workforce, our partners and the nation we serve."
The award recipients honored by the Commission were selected based on preliminary results of the 2006 Greater Cleveland Employs Survey on Diversity as well as follow-up inquires. Two organizations--one for profit and one nonprofit/government--were selected in four categories.
