Oil Patch Bits: CH2M Hill named 2009 Catalyst award recipient

CH2M Hill said Jan. 29 that its initiative is the first within the engineering and construction industry to receive recognition from Catalyst, a nonprofit membership organization working globally to build inclusive workplaces and expand opportunities for women and business. The annual award honors exceptional initiatives from companies and firms that support and advance women in business. “We are thrilled to be a Catalyst award recipient and proud that ours is the first engineering and construction firm initiative to receive this prestigious award,” said Ralph Peterson, chairman and immediate past CEO at CH2M Hill. In the traditionally male-dominated industry, the company provides a model for leveraging female employees to achieve business success. Award winning initiatives are evaluated in a rigorous year-long process against an extensive set of criteria. For more information on CH2M Hill visit www.c2mhill.com.
