ARLINGTON, Va., May 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Engility Chairman
and CEO Lynn Dugle spoke to leaders
of the intelligence community yesterday at the first-ever
symposium, The New IC: Empowering Women and Engaging
Men.
"In the 21st century, women can't succeed without men's help,
and men can't succeed without women," Dugle told the crowd. "I hope
that each of us will accept the invitation and the challenge of
looking at diversity and equality in the workplace…empowering women
and engaging men in a new and refreshed way."
Hosted by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance
(INSA), the purpose of the forum was to bring together leaders in
the intelligence community to discuss the professional issues that
women face in national security careers, the leadership track for
females in the industry, and determine a path to increase
representation of women in technology.
"One of the core themes of The New IC is
expanding leadership opportunities for women," said INSA Chief
Operating Officer Suzanne Wilson
Heckenberg. "As the chief executive of a premier services
provider to the intelligence and national security communities,
Lynn has expertise and insight that will resonate deeply with our
attendees. She is a leader of great integrity and extensive
industry leadership experience, making her an ideal keynote for
this inaugural event. INSA is delighted to have her
participation."
Dugle is well-recognized as a dynamic leader in a historically
male-dominated industry, and she dedicates her personal time to
causes that support female leadership, diversity, mentorship, and
opportunities in science and education. She was the first industry
leader to sign the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion Pledge,
which aims to cultivate workplace environments where all ideas are
welcomed and employees feel comfortable and empowered to discuss
diversity and inclusion. Dugle has received numerous awards for her
efforts, including last year's Washington Business Journal's
distinguished "Women Who Mean Business." She was named one of the
most influential leaders in government contracting in 2017 and
2018, and one of the Women Worth Watching in 2017 by Profiles in
Diversity Journal.
"To see real progress in diversity and equality, women and men
need the patience—and the courage—to explain, not just
communicate," said Dugle.
