SIX WORK LIFE LEGACY AWARD HONOREES AT
4 TH ANNUAL WORK LIFE LEGACY AWARD LUNCHEON
Deloitte & Touche Receives Award for Corporate Partnership
NEW YORK , NY – Families and Work Institute presented its annual Work Life Legacy Award to six outstanding leaders in the work life movement, recognizing their cutting-edge innovations, at an awards luncheon today.
The Work Life Legacy Award was created to capture the history of the people who have created the work life movement and continue to facilitate its progress. Concerned that the history of these remarkable changes would never be told, Ellen Galinsky, president and co-founder of Families and Work Institute, established the Work Life Legacy Awards in 2004, and began filming first-hand accounts from the leaders of this history-in-the-making. Every year, the Institute honors leaders from companies, foundations, academia and nonprofits, who have created this movement here and abroad.
The 2007 Work Life Legacy Award honorees – and their legacies – are as follows:
SHARON ALLEN Chairman of the Board, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP

In addition, in partnership with Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Families and Work Institute also recognizes one honoree who has made extraordinary contributions as a leader in and an innovator of the work life movement. Together, these organizations created the Chris C. Kjeldsen Work Life Legacy Award in memory of Johnson & Johnson executive and pioneering work life advocate Chris C. Kjeldsen. Kathleen D’Appolonia, who exemplifies his spirit and dedication, is the 2007 recipient of the Chris C. Kjeldsen Work Life Legacy Award.
“Families and Work Institute is proud to honor these leaders for their exceptional accomplishments in work life,” said Ellen Galinsky, president and co-founder of Families and Work Institute. “The Work Life Legacy Award shines a spotlight on their achievements, and by doing so, shows how economic and social change really takes place.”
Honorees for the Work Life Legacy Award are nominated by the previous year’s winners, and then are selected through an internal process at Families and Work Institute.
