McLean, Virginia, December 10, 2008 — Mr. Sol Glasner, MITRE's vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary, recently received the Washington Metropolitan Area Corporate Counsel Association's (WMACCA) Corporate Counsel Career Achievement Award. WMACCA, the largest regional bar association for in-house counsel, has given the award only twice before in its 27-year history.

Glasner was recognized for the instrumental role he has played in MITRE's development during his 16 years as chief legal officer and for his service to the in-house bar. He received the award at WMACCA's annual Corporate Counsel Awards reception, held October 29 in McLean, Va.

"Sol provides MITRE's leadership with strategic, thoughtful guidance on an incredible range of issues," said MITRE president and chief executive officer Al Grasso. "Our organization is better for his wise counsel, and I congratulate him on this most deserved honor."
