November 12 2021 - 8:00AM
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAWW) is proud to be
named among the Women’s Forum of New York’s 2021 Corporate
Champions in recognition of its leadership to attain gender balance
on its corporate board.
Atlas was honored at the organization’s sixth
biennial “Breakfast of Corporate Champions” (BCC) event November 10
in New York City. The event highlighted 243 companies from the
S&P 500 and Fortune 1000 that have achieved 35% or more female
representation on their corporate boards. Atlas was recognized for
exceeding this goal, reaching forty percent gender diversity on its
board.
“We are proud of our strong board of directors and
the diversity of perspectives represented,” said John W. Dietrich,
President and CEO of Atlas Air Worldwide. “Atlas has prioritized
diversity, equity and inclusion in its governance process, and we
are stronger for it.”
The women serving on Atlas’ board include: Beverly
K. Goulet, former Senior Vice President and Chief Integration
Officer, American Airlines Group; Carol B. Hallett, Of Counsel,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Sheila A. Stamps, former Executive Vice
President, DBI LLC, Senior Banking Executive; and Carol J.
Zierhoffer, former Senior Vice President and Global Chief
Information Officer at Bechtel Corporation.
All “Corporate Champion” companies honored from
2011 to 2021 have exceeded the national average for corporate board
seats held by women. The ongoing Women's Forum “Corporate Board
Initiative” recognizes the critical role of CEO leadership in
accelerating change to help make gender equity a business priority
and driving intent to action.
“After ten years of tracking the numbers, we have
seen impressive growth and significant advancement for gender
parity and diversity in the leadership ranks of corporate America,”
said BCC Chair and Founder, Janice Reals Ellig, CEO, Ellig Group.
“This issue has even greater relevance in 2021, and we’re
tremendously proud to celebrate an impressive collection of
game-changing Corporate Champions who are determined to lead the
way.”
