Harrington\u2019s Extensive Experience and Leadership Support the QL+ Mission to Improve the Lives of American Heroes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CENTREVILLE, Va., July 27, 2020<\/strong> \u2013  Parsons Corporation<\/a> (NYSE: PSN) announced today that Chief Executive Officer Chuck  Harrington has been named to the Quality of Life Plus (QL+) Board of Directors.  With this appointment, Harrington brings a wealth of experience and leadership to assist the QL+ mission of providing innovative STEM solutions to veterans, first responders, and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike Parsons, QL+ is on a quest to deliver a better world to our nation\u2019s veterans and warfighters whose sacrifice and service allow for the freedom and security Americans experience every day,\u201d said Harrington. \u201cI\u2019m energized to support such a mission-focused organization and look forward to helping them improve the lives of our nation\u2019s heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrington joined Parsons in 1982 as an engineer performing technical and later project management duties on classified projects for the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense. He later founded and led Parsons\u2019 business into the biotechnology, semiconductor and telecommunications industries prior to becoming chief financial officer of the corporation in 2006. Chuck was named chief executive officer in 2008  and chairman of the board of directors later that same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChuck Harrington has done a fantastic job strategically leading Parsons through several important growth milestones while maintaining mission focus, the highest industry standards, and a commitment to excellence.  I am very pleased that QL+ has the honor of welcoming Chuck Harrington to our board,\u201d said QL+ Founder, Jon Monett.  \u201cHe is a successful leader who will be an important teammate to expand QL+’s impact, visibility, and service to America’s heroes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Chuck join the QL+ board of directors.  His demonstrated leadership, business acumen, and tremendous record of success throughout a long and distinguished career add a new dimension of class and experience to the board,\u201d remarked retired Lt. Gen. Ray Palumbo, chairman of the QL+ board of directors.  \u201cFor me personally, it\u2019s an honor to have someone of Chuck\u2019s caliber on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chuck Harrington graduated with honors from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a bachelor\u2019s degree in engineering. He then graduated with honors from the Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with a master\u2019s degree in business administration with concentrations in finance and marketing. Chuck also attended the Advanced Management Program at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. He received an honorary Doctorate from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, for accomplishments in the field of engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
