Selects Ann Turner for CEO Diversity Award
Martha Britt, Edgar Klein Obbink Receive Honorable
Mention
Eastman
Kodak Company announced that Ann Turner, Regional Business
General Manager for the Americas Region of the company's
Entertainment
Imaging (EI) operation, will receive the 2004
CEO
Diversity Award from Chairman
and CEO Daniel A. Carp at a recognition ceremony this
month. In all, CFC has 60 programs within its nine service
departments, available to the community at 17 locations
throughout Monroe and Wayne Counties.
Martha
"Marty" Britt, Director, Leadership Excellence
and Organizational Research, Human Resources, and Edgar
Klein Obbink, Operations Manager, Kodak Italy and KOS
Director, EAMER, are this year's Honorable Mention recipients.
"This
company is reinventing itself through the efforts of
leaders like Ann, Marty, and Edgar, who consistently
find ways to bring diverse groups together," Carp
said. "They stand out because they work tirelessly
to ensure all employees' ideas are valued. They repeatedly
demonstrate their commitment to Kodak's journey of diversity
and inclusion in the ways they reach out to their colleagues
and their customers."
Turner
leads Entertainment Imaging's sales offices in 41 U.S.
states, plus Canada and Latin America. She was recognized
for recruiting and promoting candidates of diverse backgrounds,
and organizing diversity and inclusion activities throughout
her organization. She enacted organizational changes
that improved working relationships, and arranged flexible
work assignments that enabled EI employees to commute
from other cities.
Turner
also furnished Kodak film products and support for minority
film programs and awards at public schools, colleges,
communities, and public institutions. She also was a
nominee for the CEO Diversity Award in 2002. Turner
is based in Kodak's New York City offices.
Britt
has focused on developing and implementing the company's
leadership excellence strategy, to ensure that Kodak
has viable candidates prepared to assume key executive
positions, with a particular focus on increasing the
pool of women, people of color, and non-U.S. nationals
in the executive population and succession pools. She
also coaches current executives on leadership skills
and advises senior management on talent development
issues and opportunities. She lives in Rochester.
Klein
Obbink's diversity efforts have included increasing
the number of women hired or appointed to senior staff
positions in the Kodak Italy operation. In 2003, he
supported training sessions in which the operation's
400 employees took part in a group exploration and celebration
of their differences.
