Booz Allen Receives Employer of Choice Award from the Minority Corporate Counsel Association

On June 16, 2004, the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) honored Booz Allen Hamilton with its Employer of Choice award.

CG Appleby, Senior Vice President & General Counsel of Booz Allen, accepted the award on behalf of the firm at the Mid-Atlantic Region Diversity Dinner in Washington, DC. "At a time when too many companies — and their lawyers — are making headlines for doing the wrong things, it's very rewarding to be surrounded by companies who are striving — and succeeding — at doing the right things," said Appleby.
