"We are pleased to introduce our latest employee recognition program celebrating the accomplishments and leadership of women across our organizations," said Jeff Stafeil, Chief Executive Officer of DURA Automotive and G.A.S. "Collectively, women at DURA represent a small percentage of total employees; however their influence on both company culture and leadership is significant and until now, largely unrecognized."
Through a company-wide nomination process across all locations, candidate applications were submitted to the company's executive team. Each honoree demonstrated leadership in areas such as manufacturing, customer service, innovation, environmental stewardship, process improvements, community involvement and education. Fifty-eight Leading Women were selected to be recognized in the annual program. In addition, eighteen of these honorees were chosen to be recipients of the prestigious Diamond Award, presented by Lynn Tilton, CEO and principal of DURA's parent company, Patriarch Partners. Diamond Award winners were flown to the Detroit area from around the world to attend an awards ceremony and tour the company headquarters.
"The Diamond Award recognizes exemplary performance and truly impressive contributions of the top honorees," said Lynn Tilton. "It was a great honor for our executive team to interact with these outstanding women and recognize their efforts and accomplishments. Their leadership has been a driving force in the impressive performance of our automotive portfolio. It is my honor to lead a company that has created a culture where women are inspired to strive for excellence and are recognized for their accomplishments."
