Work Life Legacy Luncheon Looks Back With an Eye on the Future
|
 |
The Work Life Legacy Award Luncheon was held on June 14, 2004, at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City to honor the contributions of leaders from the work life movement. Created by Families and Work Institute to document the history of the work life movement in America, the event is also meant to inspire other current and future professionals. More than 200 guests gathered at the luncheon to celebrate the honorees' accomplishments, look to the future of the movement and raise funds for programs of Families and Work Institute.
The 2004 Work Life Legacy Award honorees are:
2004 Special Work Life Legacy Award Honoree:
2004 Chris C. Kjeldsen Work Life Legacy Award Honorees:
The 2004 honorees come from many different backgrounds—a diversity of industries, disciplines, and visions that collectively have helped to shape today's work life movement. They also share a few important characteristics that have helped the work life movement to coalesce. According to Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute, each of the honorees are:
- Enthusiastic and passionate.
- Risk-takers.
- Persistent.
- Not afraid to use creative techniques.
- Good communicators.
- Surrounded by others who support and enhance their goals.
- Relentless in looking for the next challenge.
The celebration reflected on the evolution of the movement through individual accomplishments—on and off the job. Perhaps more importantly, the event provided a portal for future generations to understand the changes that have occurred in three short decades through their legacies. As one honmoree said, "The greatest predictor of what will happen is what has happened in the past."
Thanks and congratulations to all of the 2004 honorees who are living predictors of what will happen in the work life movement.
