CN announced April 4 via a Twitter post that members of the Class I’s leadership team, including President and CEO Tracy Robinson and Executive Vice-President and COO Ed Harris, along with the railroad’s R.I.S.E Employee Resource Group (ESG) showed their support by donating $20,000 to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
UP Assistant Vice President-Operations Carl Garrison has been named to Profiles in Diversity Journal’s short list of 2023 Latino Leadership Award winners.
Garrison started with UP in 2006 as an Operations Management Trainee and has since succeeded in numerous roles throughout the railroad’s network.
He’s built a long list of accomplishments after nearly 20 years on the railroad, including helping lead initiatives driving efficiency throughout the Southern Region.
UP says his peers know him for building relationships and leading with conviction. He inspires others around him–teaching that anyone who believes in what they do cannot help but give their best.
“In the last 17 years, I’ve moved 11 times, and with each new position, I have been gifted the opportunity to work with a new team with a new culture and fresh ideas,” Garrison said. “This experience has proven the value of diversity in our business. Our employees power our competitive advantage, and a key to my success has been to cultivate curiosity within our leadership teams to truly understand what will empower our employees to be their individual and collective best.”
