The Chief Human Resources Officer for Oakland University, Libby Ciliberti, has been named a member of the 2017 Career Mastered Leaders in Action class. This distinguished group is made up of 25 metro Detroit women making an impact in their respective career fields.
Ciliberti will be honored during the 3rd Michigan Women’s History Month Leadership in Action Awards dinner on Wednesday, March 1 at The Henry Autograph Collection Hotel in Dearborn. The annual event celebrates the diverse and historic accomplishments of women in business.
Karen Dumas, a popular communications professional and radio show personality who currently hosts The PULSE with Karen Dumas on Superstation 910AM, will serve as mistress of ceremonies.
“Throughout her career in the automotive industry, and now by leading our Human Resources team at Oakland, Libby has continually served as a positive role model for other aspiring young women,” said Senior Advisor to the President on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Pat Dolly. “She is certainly a deserving member of this year’s list.”
Dr. Lisa Lindsay Wicker, founder of the Career Mastered Women’s Global Business Collaborative and Women’s History Month Leadership in Action Awards added, “Today’s women leaders are game changers. They take charge of their careers and take charge of their futures. These women have made their mark in business and are all exceptionally strong role models.”
Proceeds from the awards dinner directly support Excel Village Center for Learning, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide career planning for youth at the elementary, junior high and high school levels.
