Catalyst Awards Dinner
The 2012 Catalyst Awards Dinner and 50th Anniversary Celebration was held Thursday, March 29, 2012, at The Waldorf=Astoria in New York.
James S. Turley, Catalyst Awards Dinner Chair, Catalyst Board Chair, and Chairman and CEO of Ernst & Young, as well as the CEOs of Catalyst Award-winning organizations and more than 2,000 corporate leaders, attended. In addition to celebrating the 2012 Catalyst Award-winning initiatives—extraordinary programs from Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Sodexo that have resulted in the recruitment, development, and advancement of women—we commemorated Catalyst's founding in 1962 and the important work that has been accomplished in the last 50 years. The night was a spectacular gala for champions of women's leadership.
