Congratulation goes out to chapter member David Montgomery, V.P. of I.T., Cardinal Health in Columbus. David won the President's Award for IT Leadership in the Black Engineer of the Year Awards.
 
Quote from page 50 of U.S. Black Engineer Winter 2010 edition:
 
"I have had the pleasure of working with David for over 10 years, first at IBM and then at Nationwide Insurance", said Srini Koushik, senior vice president and chief information officer, Nationwide Services. "In his past role, David took on a troubled IT organization, turned it around in 12 months, and successfully handled some very tough situations that few leaders have faced in their careers"
 
David has coordinated and sponsored two major events for BDPA at Cardinal Health. His leadership, peers, direct reports and HR supported his efforts. BDPA is looking forward to continuing to work with David.
 
Congratulations, David!!
