Matthew C. Cordaro of C.W. Post Recognized for his Support and Advocacy on Behalf of Women

March 11, 2003 — Matthew C. Cordaro, Chair of the Department of Health Care & Public Administration and Director or the Center for Management Analysis, was honored by the Nashville Women's Political Caucus for his activities there in the 1990s, when he was president of Nashville Electric Service. The group honors men who have taken an active role in helping women to advance both personally and professionally. Dr. Cordaro was selected as a recipient of the "Good Guys Award" in part for his promotion and mentoring of women throughout his career and also, very importantly, for being a leader in the passage of an amendment to the Tennessee Public Records Act which gave protection to personal information of abused spouses. Other recipients of the award include U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson, former Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist, Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen, and former Chancellor of Vanderbilt University Joe B. Wyatt.
