BEYA to honor the 36th annual Black Engineer of the Year

BALTIMOREDec. 3, 2021PRLog — Career Communications Group (CCG) — BEYA recognizes outstanding achievements in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This year, the Black Engineer of the Year Award goes to a successful engineer who has used his knowledge and power to mentor interns from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Theodore “Ted” Colbert III, executive vice president of The Boeing Company and president and CEO of Boeing Global Services, will receive the award during the BEYA STEM Conference in February 2022. The award has been presented for more than 30 years to leaders who have made significant contributions to STEM talent development.

Following the announcement of the 2022 Black Engineer of the Year, STEM City USA—Career Communications Group’s city in the sky—hosted a welcome ceremony for the newest member of the club of Black Engineers of the Year. Ted said he had made it a mission to bring on board more leaders in technology and aerospace. He also told past BEYA winners that as a chief information officer (CIO) at Boeing he worked to change the face of information technology (IT), replacing minority leaders with minority leaders and women leaders with women leaders.

Ted is currently the vice-chair of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TCMF) and working to secure millions of dollars in funding to help recruit more students. During the spring of 2020, Colbert shared with LinkedIn his pride in speaking to a group of students from HBCUs who were beginning an internship with Boeing as part of the Boeing | TCMF Scholar program. Ted wrote glowingly of a partnership that will help the interns impact Boeing and the entire aerospace industry.

“It’s opened up a new world of possibilities,” Ted said during a US Black Engineer magazine interview. “The fact of the matter is all the data says that diverse organizations are more successful. Diverse companies, diverse boards, deliver more innovation to our society.”

The 36th Black Engineer of the Year Award will be presented at the BEYA Gala on Saturday, Feb. 19, at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.

In Honor of October 2021, National Bullying Prevention Month, Author and Educator Dr. Elana Ashley Relaunches “Big Bully Holly Howler”

Dr. Elana Ashley is a highly inspiring, multifaceted woman who is especially fond of children and art. She is the President of Dream Image Press, LLC, an interactive educational organization that includes the writing and publication of books and other written works, the creation and exhibition of original artwork, and the presentation of educational and entertaining programs/events for both children and adults. Dr. Ashley uses her background as an educator, author, artist, storyteller and ventriloquist to deliver an important lesson on bullying in her children’s series Splunkunio Splunkey Detective and Peacemaker. She relaunches her second book Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler.
 
Dr. Ashley and her puppets take us on a lesson-filled adventure that teaches us to be nice to everyone, including those who may not be nice to us. The story opens with Ellie Elephant who is very upset with a new student at her school. Holly Howler is acting badly with everyone – shoving other children to get ahead in the lunch line, grabbing the basketball when children are playing at recess, taking property that belongs to other kids… In a nutshell, Holly is a bully! However, Detective and Peacemaker Splunkunio Splunkey’s advice to Ellie leads to Holly’s change of heart.
 
The book takes a unique approach to the topic of bullying and bullies. Splunkey instills in Ellie and the readers the importance of using kindness and compassion when talking and interacting with others. Everyone can change for the better when high values form the foundation for their words and actions.  In addition, Ashley’s puppet storybook characters are living the lives of real-life students – walking, talking and interacting outside and throughout the school – in the classroom, the lunchroom, the gymnasium, the hallways, the entrance to the school… The photographs are delightful expressions of everyday living and learning, which immediately grab the attention of young children.
 
Ashley’s book has been strategically relaunched during National Bullying Prevention Month (October) to open the eyes of children and adults to the reality of bullying and its adverse effects, to provide prevention strategies, and to broadcast messages of hope and meaningful transformation to people everywhere.
 
Along with her extraordinary puppet crew, Ashley combines storytelling with original poems and songs to present programs that simultaneously engage and delight audiences. The author has presented lectures and programs on the subject of Bullying – Comprehension, Prevention, Intervention and Resolution.  Her article “How I Created My Anti-Bullying Campaign and Where It Is Headed” was featured in the November 2020 issue of the magazine Northbrook Living. In 2020-2021, the Global Forum for Education and Learning (GFEL) nominated Dr. Elana Ashley as one of the Top 100 Visionaries in Education.
