William D. Albright, Jr. will retire in 2012 after more than 30 years with MITRE. He has more than 34 years of experience in the human resources field. Before joining MITRE in 1978, Albright was head of personnel and security for The Aerospace Corporation. Prior to taking on his current role as director of Quality of Work Life and Diversity in MITRE’s human resources organization, Albright served as corporate director of human resources management with oversight for staffing and employee relations. As Quality of Work Life and Benefits director, Albright’s responsibili- ties included the direction of programs and policies designed to enhance quality of work life for employees in areas per- taining to work life navigation, employ- ee morale, diversity/equal employment opportunity, health and wellness, and conference and meeting planning. His efforts in all these areas helped MITRE make employer-of choice listings includ- ing US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine’s “Most Admired Companies for Minority Professionals.” Albright received the Black Engineer of the Year Award (BEYA) for Diver- sity Leadership in Industry at the 2010 BEYA Science, Technology, Engineer- ing, and Math (STEM) Global Competi- tiveness Conference. He was recognized for commitment to promoting diversity and equality. He was also praised for his efforts to mentor young men and women of color to pursue STEM careers and degrees. Albright was cited for three corporate-wide initiatives he established that have helped foster a diverse and in- clusive workplace at MITRE: the Flex- ible Work Arrangements program, which enables employees to achieve work/life balance, whether to pursue education, take care of a parent, or care for a child; the Corporate Diversity Action Council, a management/employee-driven group created to infuse diversity and inclusion into the work environment; and Embrace Your Health, a campaign that provides
