Oprah Winfrey named to "Top Diversity Advocates" List
Press Release
Diversitybusiness announces "America's Top Diversity Advocates"
"The Top Diversity Advocates" (List) represent individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to solutions in diversity issues on a global and "national scale. The honorees have made a significant impact on diversity issues in education, procurement, housing and employment. These unsung champions have not waved a diversity flag but rather have quietly made a difference in the lives of people by positively impacting their lives, and improving the economic conditions for their families and communities.
"I am extremely excited about the honoree list" said Kenton Clarke, CEO of DiversityBusiness. "This recognition brings attention to comprehensible results provided by many different people representing all sectors of diversity, who can quantify success made by their efforts". Cassandra Charles-Gerst, Director of Corporate Supplier Responsibility & Diversity at United Technologies Corporation, exemplifies one of the "Top Advocates". Using her position at UTC, she directs the department that has provided 100's of millions of dollars in opportunities for companies owned by diverse people. Another fine example is Johnnie Booker of The Coca Cola Company. In her position as Director of Supplier Diversity, Ms. Booker has spearheaded an increase in Coca Cola's spending with diverse owned companies by over 1 billion dollars in the last 5 years.
