Secretary of Commerce Carlos M. Gutierrez presented the 2006-2007 Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership to Exelon Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Procter & Gamble at a White House ceremony.
The Ron Brown Award is the only Presidential Award recognizing companies for outstanding achievement in employee and community relations.
Established by President Clinton in honor of the late U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, the Award is fully funded by the private sector and is sponsored and managed by The Conference Board, a leading business membership and research organization.
“Exelon Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Procter & Gamble exemplify the high level of commitment to their communities and employees that we have recognized throughout the rich history of the Ron Brown Award,” Gutierrez said.
“For the tenth year in a row, the Ron Brown Award judges have identified three companies that through innovation and collaboration, bridge the gap between corporation and community.”
“These three companies were chosen from more than 90 programs through a rigorous selection process, and in winning the Ron Brown Award they join a list of illustrious companies selected over the past decade,” notes Jonathan Spector, Chief Executive Officer of The Conference Board.
“I am impressed by the breadth of the winning companies' programs and the depth of their employees' involvement, and I am inspired by their vision for melding corporate growth with a commitment to their communities and their employees.”
