In her role at Chrysler Group, Emerson is responsible for the overall design, development and deployment of Chrysler Group's corporate diversity strategies.

In addition, Emerson is a founding member of the DaimlerChrysler African American Network (DCAAN). She serves on the DCAAN Board of Directors and mentors young professionals in the group, as well as other young people in the company and community.

"These programs will be a living legacy to her commitment to diversity. She has led a cultural transformation helping to enhance employee and leadership awareness of the business connection between diversity and the bottom line."

Emerson has received several accolades including the Presidential Diversity Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners, a listing in the inaugural edition of the "Who's Who in Black Detroit," the Women of Influence award from African Americans on Wheels Magazine and Oakland University's Odyssey Award for her contributions to building a diverse society. In addition, she was recently inducted into the National Women's Leadership Hall of Fame. Collectively, all of the awards highlight and recognize Emerson's impact on a global and diverse society within and outside of the automobile industry.

She serves on several national and local boards including Focus: HOPE, Catalyst and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women. Emerson received her Bachelor's degree from Oakland University and Graduate degrees from Wayne State University and University of Michigan.

The "Women of Color" Technology Awards began in 1995. Since then, a woman of color at Chrysler Group has been awarded every year.
