What with its environmental concerns and its attention to fair hiring and workplace conditions, it looks to me that in Kodak corporate America (and the Washington administration) have an example worthy of emulation. Congratulations on the honor, John!

Ten Kodak people flew to Washington IAD Tuesday on the Kodak corporate twin-jet Challenger. Left Rochester at 3:45pm and arrived at Dulles airport before 5:00pm. The van trip to the Hyatt Capitol Hill hotel took longer than the flight! After "official" photos with Drusilla Hufford of the EPA, we attended a reception sponsored by Trane. EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman opened the dinner with a short speech. Kodak was one of only three companies honored with the EPA 2003 Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award, presented by Drusilla Hufford, EPA Global Programs Division for Ozone Protection: http://www.epa.gov/newsroom/headline_042203.htm http://www.epa.gov/docs/ozone/awards/ Left for the airport at 9:45pm, and were back in Rochester by 11:30pm. Quite an exciting experience. [ 04-25-2003, 11:55 AM: Message edited by: John Pytlak ]  |  IP: Logged
