Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES) has been honored by the Alliance for Workplace Excellence (AWE) as one of the Washington, D.C. area's best places to work. In addition, Hughes was one of 22 Mid-Atlantic regional businesses to have demonstrated their commitment to environmental sustainability, receiving the EcoLeadership Award. These awards will be presented to the 63 winning companies at the AWE Annual Awards Luncheon being held on June 13, 2011 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. The Alliance has recognized the best places to work for the past 12 years, honoring businesses that promote professional fulfillment and personal wellness—at work, at home, and in the community, as well as their commitment to environmental sustainability.

This is the second year that AWE went beyond the local area into the Mid-Atlantic region to also honor businesses that have demonstrated their commitment to environmental sustainability. Of the 63 employers honored, 57 received the Workplace Excellence Award, 38 the Health & Wellness Trailblazer Award, and 22 received the EcoLeadership Award. The 63 winning companies represent more than one million employees from organizations of all sizes and in all sectors—private, public, and nonprofit.
