The Boeing Company ranked No. 12 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2023.
Boeing and Southern University won NASA’s 2022 Mentor-Protégé Agreement of the Year for their work on NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
The Mentor-Protégé Program, sponsored by NASA, pairs large companies with eligible small businesses and minority-serving institutions to boost their success when competing for larger contracts.
“This achievement is Boeing’s first mentor-protégé partnership with a Historically Black College or University so the award is such an honor,” said James Chavis, a Boeing supplier program representative at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility. “This recognition highlights the hard work and collaboration between Southern University and Boeing.”
The company subcontracted around $4.6 billion to small and diverse businesses in 2022.
