BALTIMORE–Deborah So’Brien, Logistics Management Specialist Team Lead, U.S. Army Materiel Command Logistics Support Activity, has been selected to receive Women of Color Magazine’s Technical Innovation-Government award at the 18th Annual Women of Color Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Conference, which is scheduled to take place October 17-19 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.

The Technical Innovation-Government award is presented to a woman that invents a new product, device, or process; leads technology development teams; or develops new ways to use the product or process. The awardee also serves as a stereotype-breaking role model for women in technology.

So’Brien has successfully controlled and commanded the AEMM or Army Enterprise Materiel Master in her role to sustain the Joint Warfighter during peace and war. In her capacity as the project leader, she manages materiel disposal apart from handling processes such as distribution, maintenance, reporting, control, storage and acquisition through logistics management data integration.

The 2013 Women of Color STEM conference is a multicultural event for women in scientific and technical careers. The conference features several key speakers who will address the underrepresentation of women in these disciplines. The conference will also host training seminars that will highlight important topics such as leadership and professional skills, diversity and inclusion, technical leadership and innovation and career outlook.

Tyrone D. Taborn, CEO of Career Communications Group, calls the awards long-deserved recognition for talented women. "These women are outstanding achievers in very competitive fields where women do not always get a fair shot at leadership positions," Taborn says.

"Women make up more than half of the population of this country and are receiving more than half of the college degrees, yet too many women in today’s work force are trapped in low-paying and low-grade-level jobs," Taborn adds. "Given the growing diversity of the current work force, employers must commit not only to leveling the playing field but also to addressing those inequalities that limit women from achieving their full career potential."
