Awards:

Out and Equal TRAILBLAZER Award
Out and Equal Workplace Advocates
The Trailblazer Award recognizes an LGBT person who has made a significant contribution to advancing workplace equality by helping improve their own workplace or contributing to equality nationally. The Trailblazer Award was given to Lance Freedman, Lockheed Martin. Lance Freedman rallied Lockheed Martin’s LGBT employee resource group, LGBTs and Allies, to transform a traditional “don’t ask, don’t tell” workplace culture for 120,000 people into a fully LGBT-inclusive workplace years before the federal government dismantled the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Lance gathered and groomed an army of advocates across the corporation, coordinated their help to fund and deliver an impressive LGBT Leadership Forum and the defense industry’s first ever “It Gets Better” video, which Lance himself led. He played central roles assisting Lockheed Martin to establish LGBT non-profit sponsorships, recruitment at LGBT career fairs, support to LGBT Veterans, five LGBT ERGs, and policy changes ranging from non-discrimination to gender transition.
