BALTIMORE, MD– Sarah Travelute, Program Management and Subcontract Senior Manager of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, has been selected to receive Women of Color Magazine’s Managerial Leadership-Industry award at the 18^th 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.

Travelute has spent 21 years honing her managerial leadership skills. Her hard work has culminated in a successful Lockheed Martin career where she helps her team excel through coaching and improved skill training.

During her career at Lockheed Martin, Travelute has used her talents to improve the organization.  She serves as a role model, and affects all those around here with her positive leadership approach.

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."

One of the many goals of the National Women of Color Technology 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.
