FLORENCE — Jeannette C. Glenn, McLeod Vice President for Human Resources, Education and Training, recently was awarded the 2009-2010 Executive of the Year Award by the Florence Chapter of International Association of Administrative Professionals.

Criteria for the award included setting a vision and inspiring others to follow; demonstrating a commitment to diversity and inclusion; holding self and others accountable, and providing a safe work environment.
