Angela Curley First Positively Powerful Corporate Woman Winner
The 3rd annual “Positively Powerful Women Celebrate!” Awards Luncheon will be Friday, May 21st at the Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix, Arizona from 11:30AM T0 2PM. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $75. Please join us as we honor three exceptional and diverse women servant leaders Angela Curley, Debbie Paine, and Lorena Valencia.Originally from New York, the award recipient relocated to Arizona to join the Dial Corporation. Since joining the company in 1998, she has provided direction on community outreach efforts as well as the diversity program. She also influenced senior leadership to sponsor the African American, Asian and Hispanic Employee Resource Groups, served two terms as president of the African American Forum, Treasury and steering committee member of Professional Women’s Forum and was appointed to Dial’s Executive Diversity Leadership Team.
Since the acquisition, Angela has provided guidance to the President of Henkel on the creation of the global diversity program and is currently the leader and strategist for all Henkel sites in North America. She is the liaison for ten Employee Resource Groups in the US and the Women in Leadership Team in Germany. She is the coordinator and creator of Henkel’s first Corporate Council for Diversity and Inclusion. Under her leadership, Dial/Henkel was recognized by AZSHRM as Corporation of the year 2001 and 2009, Best Places to Work in CT 2010 and well as other awards.
Angela served three years on the board of directors for the Greater Phoenix Black Chamber of Commerce, was recognized as a 2008 Athena nominee, serves as Co chair of Valley of The Sun United Way CIC Committee and is on the board of directors of the Diversity Leadership Alliance. She is the recipient of Dial’s highest individual recognition, the Reaching for Greatness Award.
With all that she has accomplished, Angela says she is “most proud of the fact that I am a girl from the Bronx, the daughter of immigrants, who overcome many barriers to be a lynchpin for others because of the love and support of family and community.“
She attributes much of her success to the wisdom she gained from her mother, the support of her sisters and son Jarrett, 23, who is the apple of her eye. www.henkel.com
