Curtis noted that 2011 also marks the 17th anniversary of the AMR Diversity Advisory Council, which represents an expansive group of committed employees at American and American Eagle. The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Employees and Allies of American Airlines and American Eagle (GLEAM) Employee Resource Group was, in fact, the first among the early-forming affinity groups crucial to the Council's development. Today, there are 16 Employee Resource Groups advising American and American Eagle on ways to ensure the company is a great place to work for all employees and a good corporate citizen in the communities it serves.
