The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has been named a Diversity Leader Award winner from Profiles in Diversity Journal for 2015, emphasizing the Exchange's commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The Exchange was one of only 19 large organizations--those with 3,000 associates or more--to be honored in the seventh-annual competition.  Organizations were evaluated on employee engagement, advancement opportunities, board composition, workplace recognition, community engagement and more.

"A diverse and inclusive workforce allows the Exchange to better carry out its mission of serving military members and their families around the world," said U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Joseph Ward, Exchange deputy director. "The Exchange embraces the value of diversity not only in our associates but in our customer base as well."

The Exchange and other winners are featured in the magazine's most recent issue, November/December 2014.
