Woodard, Lamm Honored for Diversity

Two NC State administrators are among a dozen individuals being honored by the Triangle Business Journal for their work promoting diversity.

Anna Lamm, director of the Confucius Institute, and Joanne Woodard, vice provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity, will receive Leaders in Diversity Awards at a luncheon ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Cotton Room in Durham. To attend the event, register online.

Now in its second year, the annual awards program recognizes the accomplishments of Triangle businesses, individuals and nonprofits whose work reflects “the rich tapestry of our community,” TBJ announced this week. Andrea Harris, president of the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development, will receive the lifetime achievement award at the ceremony.

“These winners have demonstrated respect or inclusive treatment of others, advocacy for underrepresented groups and multicultural marketing,” the publication said.

TBJ will profile the winners in a special section of the print edition on Sept. 12.
