CHICAGO, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- KDM Engineering, an award-winning, minority- and woman-owned engineering firm based in Chicago, was recognized with the 2022 Business Diversity Award from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI).
Formerly known as the Diverse Supplier Award, the recognition is given annually to a diverse supplier that does superior work and supports fellow diverse suppliers in its supply chain. EEI presented this year's award on May 19 during EEI's 38th Business Diversity Conference in Los Angeles.
"We are proud to recognize KDM Engineering. The firm's dedication to diversity and inclusion is supported by its contracts and workplace diversity, where 36 percent of its employees are women," said Courtney Peterson, Chief Human Resources Officer, the Edison Electric Institute. "KDM also distinguishes itself by building long-standing strategic partnering relationships that are mutually beneficial for KDM and prime suppliers, helping each other reach goals and achieve success."
"Another differentiator is KDM's strong commitment to changing the face of engineering by increasing awareness in STEM fields for women and minorities through targeted programming. The work of its foundation, Calculated Genius, which is dedicated to helping underrepresented youth explore and connect to engineering, is stellar. By focusing on giving back to the local community, funds are used to support a summer STEM and entrepreneurship program for high school students and to provide scholarships to women pursuing STEM-related degrees," Peterson said.
