UPS (NYSE: UPS) has been recognized with the 2019 Corporate Award
by The Executive Leadership Council (ELC), the preeminent
membership organization focused on the development of global black
leaders. Additionally, ELC has welcomed four UPS executives into
its membership of senior executives: George Brooks, President,
Americas Region; Rhonda Clark, President, Global Buildings and
Systems Engineering; Charlene Thomas, Chief Human Resources
Officer; and George Willis, President, U.S. Operations.
The ELC is committed to advancing the role and
contributions of black executives and preparing the next generation
of corporate leaders through programs, events and philanthropic
endeavors. Through this award, ELC has acknowledged UPS for
significant contributions to the advancement of black corporate
executives, its support of employees and diverse suppliers, and its
philanthropic commitment to supporting the community. The award was
accepted by David Abney, UPS Chairman and CEO, at the ELC’s
Recognition Gala on October 10th in D.C. The induction of UPS’s
executives was also announced during that event.
“The ELC plays a critical role in helping
diversify the candidate pipeline for corporations,” said Abney. “It
readies executives so they can take on leadership positions, but
also helps create an understanding and appreciation for the nuances
of corporate leadership, ensuring that ELC candidates make a
strategic impact and significant contribution to the companies they
join.”
UPS’s support of ELC began two decades ago, in
1999, as part of the organization’s strategy of cultivating a
creative, inclusive and supportive workplace, and long history of
valuing cultural diversity and inclusion.
With a service area that spans 220 countries and
territories, UPS represents the world and considers it a business
imperative to include the diverse communities it serves. By
supporting organizations that focus on education and empowerment,
UPS is helping to foster and advance an inclusive business
environment.
