In 2014, in recognition of her work and appreciation for the time and energy she has given in service to the Greater Milwaukee Committee (GMC) and Milwaukee Women inc (MWi), the organizations joined forces to create the Mary Ellen Stanek Award for Diversity in Corporate Governance.
The Mary Ellen Stanek Award for Diversity in Corporate Governance is given annually to an individual and/or entity demonstrating a commitment to promoting diversity in their corporate structure resulting in increased gender and racial diversity in leadership and on corporate boards in the Milwaukee Region.
Each February the GMC and MWi present this award at the GMC annual membership meeting.
