To welcome them, guests entering the W Hotel Washington found two Cadillac XTS Luxury Sedans on display upon their arrival. The luncheon was a smashing success, as members of top outlets from all over the country were in attendance. Jocelyn Allen, Director of GM Regional Grassroots and Diversity Communications, moderated the discussion and also set the stage for the GM Foundation to present a $100,000 grant to one of the world’s finest Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), D.C.-based Howard University. Eric Peterson, GM’s Vice President of Corporate Diversity, was on hand to congratulate Howard for this grant, which will be used toward its science, engineering, mathematics and technology (STEM) curriculum.

The afternoon culminated with guests mingling and joining their fellow XTS “stars” on the red carpet outside of the hotel.
