BALTIMORE, MD–Brenda D. Sanders, Performance Improvement Branch Manager for the Maintenance and Supply Integration Performance Branch Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), has been selected to receive a Managerial Leadership award by Career Communications Group, Inc., publisher of US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine, Hispanic Engineer & Information Technology magazine and Women of Color Magazine.

This award will be presented during the 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 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.

During her career, Sanders has managed and trained more than 500 personnel at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, VA, NAS Lemoore, CA, NAS North Ireland, CA during the implementation of Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) methodologies. While she is currently the performance management professional for the Naval Air Enterprise, Sanders develops policies and procedures that allow civilians, fleet sailors and marines to execute and develop innovative ideas.

 Having received an AAS degree in Management Development from the College of Southern Maryland and a BA in Management Studies from University of Maryland University College, Sanders repeatedly demonstrates strong leadership abilities, displays high standards of professional conduct and is an excellent representative of Naval Air Systems Command.

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."

One of the many goals of the National Women of Color STEM Conference, Taborn says, is to provide employers with a unique opportunity to recognize those women within their ranks who are already successful, thus sending a clear message that there is room for many others who choose to follow.
