Distinguished Diversity Leaders Award

Due to the pandemic and its financial repercussions, the DDLA program and current funding of the award recipients is on hold. A decision on when the program will be reinstated is expected after the FY22 budget is approved.  Once a decision has been made, recipients will have one year to request  their financial awards.

Congratulations to all 2019 Distinguished Diversity Leaders Award recipients!
