Biography Anthony W. Wade is Manager, Employment and Compensation, for Denver Water in Denver, Colorado. He is responsible for managing all employment and compensation programs for an organization of more than 1,000 employees with total revenues of over $1.2 billion. He is also a Charter member and the first President of the Colorado State Chapter of the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources. Prior to his current position, Anthony was a Department/Commission Director for New Hanover County Government in North Carolina. He directed the activities of the County's Human Relations Commission responsible for administration of local ordinances, including investigation and enforcement authority, involving fair employment and housing discrimination, and provided advisory/training services to businesses and organizations. Before joining New Hanover County Government, Anthony administered the EEO/ADA program for Jefferson County Government in Golden, Colorado. A retired Air Force veteran, he formerly directed the activities of the Equal Opportunity/Human Relations Education Section for Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado. Anthony has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Human Resources Administration from Saint Leo College and a Master of Arts Degree in Management from Webster University. He is nationally certified as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) by the Society for Human Resources Management. Anthony has worked with and presented for numerous organizations including the Colorado Risk Management Association, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Institute of Management Accountants, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. His past and present professional/civic affiliations include serving on the Boards of the Aurora, Colorado Human Relations Commission, City of Aurora's Police Chief's Roundtable, and the Cape Fear Area United Way. Peter's career path has been, shall we say, somewhat more circuitous... Peter Shinn first began his career in human services as an addictions counselor and human relations instructor for the United States Air Force in 1988, and has worked in the military equal opportunity career field ever since. Shinn has the unusual distinction of having served as an equal opportunity advisor and substance abuse counselor at units for all three Air Force components — Active Duty, Reserve and Air National Guard - and has won awards in each for his outstanding accomplishments as an instructor, counselor and advisor. Shinn is currently the Military Equal Opportunity Officer at Sioux City Air National Guard Base in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa. In April, Shinn completed the Academy of Military Science and was awarded a commission in the Iowa Air National Guard — also an unusual distinction given Shinn's 20 years in the enlisted ranks. In the civilian community, Shinn has focused on communications, working as Agri-Service Director and morning show co-host at WOW Radio in Omaha, Neb., as managing editor for Data Transmission Network, also in Omaha, and most recently as director of broadcast services for the National Association of Farm Broadcasting in Platte City, Mo. He has a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Omaha, where he majored in Communications. |
