(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Military and Civilian Heroes” recognition ceremony. 

Venzor is currently serving at Navy Cyber Forces (CYBERFOR) as the Force Diversity officer.

As we've seen in previous posts concerning engineering awards based on race / ethnicity, what has LCDR Venzor done lately in this field?

Besides, wasn't he the subject of a topic on this site last year that was deleted not long after it was posted? The feedback included comments that he was doing a great job promoting / submitting people for diversity-related recognition without their knowing about it.

Hope everyone takes advantage of reading CDR Salamander's related Diversity Thursday posts.

I remember that road and one similar to it during that timeframe. Submitted a comment on it. Wasn't accepted.

Sadly, this fine officer failed to select for promotion to Commander. A victim of institutional racism.
