Dr. Chris Howard’s commitment to diversity
As I’ve said before, we generally don’t toot our own horn around here, but sometimes we do make exceptions.
Some of the work that our Managing Partner, Dr. Chris Howard, is doing in the area of diversity recruiting is really outstanding, and I want to brag a little about my very close friend and business partner.
As the youngest Falcon Foundation Board of Trustees member, Chris chairs the Diversity Committee and is leading a $220,000, multiple year initiative in select school districts to increase the candidate pool of minority applicants to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
In addition, Chris has also received a federal planning grant from the Commission on National and Community Service to create an AmeriCorps program at the University of Oklahoma meant to increase graduation rates among under-represented minority students.
I could go on - Chris always has so many plates spinning in the air at one time I can’t even keep up with him - but I’ll just leave it at that for now. I just wanted to mention how proud I am of Dr. Chris Howard, and how fortunate we are to have someone with his great talent and commitment associated with this company.
