SACRAMENTO, Calif.- Eileen Drake, CEO and president of Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., a subsidiary of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.

Drake received the award during the FLEF’s annual luncheon at the New York Hilton Midtown, where the keynote speaker was Mike Pompeo, director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

“This is an incredible honor and an extreme privilege to be recognized by such an esteemed group of business executives and law enforcement officials, and to be leading a company dedicated to supporting our brave military men and women who are fighting for the freedoms we enjoy,” said Drake.

Approximately 1,300 people attended the luncheon, including business executives, members of the law enforcement and government officials. Previous award recipients have included President Bill Clinton, Vice President Richard Cheney, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
