during lulls in production rather than being laid off. Te award is the U.S. Chamber’s highest honor for businesses, trade associations and chambers of commerce engaging in corporate social responsibility. Trish Reed, vice president and general manager of IC Bus at Navis- tar, said the company partners with local communities where vehicle and engine plants are located. For exam- ple, IC Bus works with community partners in Tulsa, Oklahoma, such as the Bridges Foundation, to hire a diverse workforce that includes individuals with developmental dis- abilities. She said IC Bus employees also donate school supplies as part of an annual back-to-school “Stuff the Bus” program, and Reed added that the Tulsa employees are among the first to lead and join relief efforts. “We believe that being a responsi-

like Bright Horizons because their dedicated staff is teaching job skills that will empower disabled children to be more independent and self-suf- ficient,” said company Co-Presi- dent Julie Boynton. “To show our appreciation to the program and
devoted staff, we send a small group of employees to hand out gifts to the students and teachers every Christ- mas.
