Regarding the partnership, Tracy Solomon, CEO and President of TEVET, said “We have a fantastic relationship with Rockwell Collins… I have asked for mentoring assistance to better manage, motivate and reward our employees, as well as explore new areas of business where we can maintain a level of controlled growth.” TEVET and Rockwell Collin’s received the award during the formal Nunn-Perry Awards Ceremony, on March 12, 2015 at the Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.
