The announcement from Metro CEO Phil Washington:

I am proud to announce that LA Metro has been selected as 2016 Employer of the Year by WTS Los Angeles.  As you know, WTS Los Angeles is the largest chapter of WTS (formerly Women’s Transportation Seminar), a 5000 strong international organization dedicated to the advancement of women in transportation.  Our agency’s commitment to excellence, outstanding record of diversity in hiring and promotion at all levels, our support of continuing education and professional development for employees, our commitment to energy conservation and sustainability, our internship program, and our support of WTS, all contributed to this outstanding honor.

The award will be presented at WTS’ Annual Scholarship & Awards Dinner on Thursday, November 5, 2015 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.  My office will be in touch with you regarding your attendance, but do hope you can save the date.  Feel free to share this link with others that may want to attend: http://www.wtsevents.org/chapter/LA-Area/.
