Glenda D. Smith Named Professional of the Year in Telecommunications

    MOUNT LAUREL, PA, May 22, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Glenda D. Smith, Community Activist, has been named a Worldwide Branding Professional of the Year in Telecommunications. While inclusion in Worldwide Branding is an honor, only a small selection of members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Worldwide Branding membership.

Ms. Smith has 36 years of professional experience, with eight years as a community activist. Over the years, she has established herself as an expert in the fields of quality assurance, science, technical engineering and mathematics. On a daily basis, she is responsible for consulting and working as an advocate for those in need.

Ms. Smith previously taught middle school chemistry and biology. Ms. Smith started her career as a middle school biology and chemistry teacher. She then started a career with Verizon, and after 32 years she retired. This gave her the opportunity to consult, and pursue her passion to become an advocate for women, children, and those with disabilities. She has always felt that by empowering women in need you not only make a difference in their lives, but you also can make a tremendous difference in their children's lives. Her second focus is people with disabilities. She is always looking for opportunities to help those in need have a fair chance. Moving forward, she is looking at how she can help veterans. Ms. Smith's professionalism separates her from her peers. Ms. Smith's greatest career achievements were playing an instrumental role in implementing a new ordering and billing system in March 1998, and receiving a certification from the Bell Atlantic Corporation in 2000 to order provisioning systems from the company to enter into long-distance businesses.

She attributes her success to her determination and the support she receives from her colleagues. The highlight of her career was receiving a special recognition that was presented to her at the Women of Color STEM Conference on October 29, 2010 in Dallas, Texas.

Ms. Smith received a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Lincoln University in 1976. She is an advisor of Coquico, and she is a member of the Philadelphia Chapter of BDPA. In years to come, Ms. Smith aspires to operate a local nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement of child and elder care.

Girlfriends 4 Life Organization is a personal nonprofit organization, founded by Ms. Smith to promote the well-being of women, senior citizens and children who are unable to take care of themselves in the local community. The organization adopts a class and purchases school supplies for them, go into nursing homes to hold a day of beauty for residents, and members are invited to attend an annual holiday party at Ms. Smith's home, where the price of admission is a new unwrapped toy that will be donated to the local women's shelter for the children.
