The finalist for the 2020 Women of Color STEM Diversity Leadership Award is Tamberlin Golden, a plant director at Flint Engine Operations for General Motors.

“She has a passion to elevate those around her and I find that truly inspiring as a senior leader within this company," said Doneen McDowell, manufacturing executive director. "I am confident that whatever role Tammy assumes, she will purposefully find ways to connect with others to encourage them to “lean in” and drive the change you want to see within yourself and the world around you.”

Golden has a track record of leadership in manufacturing, quality, human resources and global facilities at multiple locations during a career that spans more than 30 years at General Motors.

She has served as President of GM WOMEN, an employee resource group that comprises over 10,000 women.

Golden is also executive chair for the General Motors African Ancestry Network (GMAAN) and an Executive Leadership board member, where she mentors talent both internally and externally. She supports Get WISE (Get Women in Science and Engineering), a non-profit organization focused on reaching elementary and middle school girls to get them exposed to opportunities in STEM, and has hosted more than a hundred 5th-grade girls from the local elementary school at one time.

Golden is committed to using her platform to ensure the development of young people and minority talent.

Register for the 2020 Women of Color STEM Conference scheduled for October 8-10.
