General Motors Co. CEO Mary Barra has opted not to show up in Washington, D.C., next week to receive an award praising her leadership in product safety and quality after complaints by victims of crashes caused by defective GM ignition switches.
Barra was to attend the National Women's History Museum next Monday to receive the Katharine Graham Living Legacy Award.
Victims' groups asked the museum to withhold the award, declaring that Barra should stay home and "focus on GM's remaining safety problems." GM says she agreed to skip the ceremony to avoid distracting attendees from the point of the event: to recognize the achievements of American women.
