2016 OUTSTANDING CORPORATION: Mondelēz International Mondelēz International is a multinational confectionary, food and beverage company based in the US which employs about 107,000 people around the world and which brings us such beloved products as Oreos, Snickers, Ritz crackers, Cadbury, Trident gum, and Toblerone. As a corporation, it believes that “the path to having a positive impact in the world begins by collaborating with communities.” When we honor Mondelēz, we express our appreciation for its history of funding for the arts such as its support for En Garde Arts in New York City which develops unconventional theatrical productions from the ground up, marrying story with place and content with community...and producing works by emerging and established artists. We are also very grateful for Mondelēz’s engagement and support for Morris Arts. In 2012, we were privileged to have Mondelēz’ Maria Morris, Executive Vice President, Global Employee Benefits as a host conversationalist at our signature gala, Great Conversations, coming up this year on April 21 st . For every subsequent year, Mondelēz has provided us with a double benefit: offering exciting top level leaders to serve as conversationalists as well as financial support, as a sponsor for the event. We were also privileged to have as conversationalists Mark Clouse, President (2013), Lorna Davis, President of Biscuits North America (2014), and Stephanie Wilkes, (2015) President of Global Gum & Candy. This year, we are excited to have Valerie Oswalt, Mondelēz’ President, US Sales. The corporation has also supported our Pumpkin Illumination program. Since 2013, that support enabled Morris Arts to expand this event to other towns (Madison and Boonton) and to provide wonderful Mondelēz treats for the community at the event. Additionally, Laurie Guzzinati, Mondelēz’s Regional Director, Corporate and Government Affairs, North America, has served on Morris Arts board since 2013. In sum, Mondelēz has given us its time, talent, treasure and treats! Therefore, in recognition and appreciation of its exceptional and ongoing commitment to the arts as an essential component of its philanthropy, Morris Arts is pleased to honor Mondelēz with its 2016 Outstanding Corporation Award. Would Laurie Guzzinati (?) [the representative] for Mondelēz please come up to accept this award. March 30, 2016 2015 OUTSTANDING CORPORATION, Pwc Gina's finalET Commentary.docx .
