I had the pleasure of presenting to Janne Sigurdsson, the manager of
ALCOA’s Fjardaal plant, a letter from Secretary Clinton congratulating
her for receiving the Stevie Award for Female Executive of the Year in
Europe, Africa, and the Middle
East. The letter applauded Janne’s exceptional efforts in building
Fjardaal into one of the world’s state-of-the-art smelters and expressed
her gratitude for Janne’s outstanding participation in the community of
eastern Iceland, supporting local culture and
contributing to improvements in education and the environment.
