Savoy Magazine Recognizes United Airlines' Corporate Social Responsibility Leadership
Savoy Magazine recently named Sharon Grant, Chief Community Engagement Officer at United Airlines, one of Corporate America's most influential women. Savoy is a leading African American lifestyle and business publication.
United's Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Brett Hart said, "United's incredible impact on communities around the world clearly demonstrates Sharon's proven ability to engage employees, partner organizations and community leaders. Under her leadership, we have capitalized on opportunities to leverage the talent and passion of our employees to make the communities where we live and work better places."
Under Grant's leadership, the Global Community Engagement team has greatly expanded United's global corporate social responsibility footprint. Initiatives have included elevating United's relationship with Special Olympics, implementing Third Thursdays, a monthly employee volunteer program that promotes worldwide employee action through United organized service events, and initiating the airlines' Critical Needs Grants that address critical needs in the communities where United's customers and employees live and work. Grant has been instrumental in developing United's award-winning humanitarian, volunteerism and supplier diversity strategies.
"I'm truly honored to have received this recognition," said Sharon. "I'm humbled to be on a list that includes an exemplary group of African American women who are not only achieving professional success but also working toward making a difference in their communities."
According to Savoy, this distinction is granted to African American women who embody talent, leadership and grace while executing critical roles for some of the largest corporations in the world while simultaneously working to better their communities and inspire others. Sharon was selected from a pool of more than 500 candidates by Savoy's editorial board as well as community leaders, including representatives from academia and the private sector.
