(CSRwire) GOLDEN, CO - Three Coors Brewing Company employees have been
recognized for their significant contributions to promote diversity within
the company and the community at large. The John Meadows Spirit of
Diversity Award honors those who have demonstrated a passion and personal
commitment toward diversity by mentoring, confronting discrimination and
by being a vocal advocate for the support of human differences.
"We are extremely proud of each of the individuals who act as a role model
for Coors Brewing Company in every sense of the word," said Frits van
Paasschen, president and chief executive officer of Coors Brewing Company.
"They promote the understanding of differences, they listen with
commitment, live our values and confront issues with diplomacy - they do
this along with participating in specific activities that support and
advocate diversity within Coors. They deserve all the recognition they
receive through this award."
This year's winners are:
Mike Kopcha, Container Quality Assurance - Golden, Colorado
Mike continuously demonstrates inclusion by unselfishly giving himself and
his time to help further the understanding and acceptance of diversity
through every person that he meets.

on behalf of the Company such as Race for the Cure, Habitat for Humanity
Women's Build, and Curtis Park Community Center.
Pablo Guzman, Area Vice President - South West FBA
