For more than a quarter century, CED’s Distinguished Leadership Awards have been honoring business leaders who exemplify CED’s mission by answering the call for leadership in their companies and communities and demonstrating a strong commitment to public policy in the nation’s interests.
On October 25, 2021, CED’s Annual Distinguished Leadership Awards Celebration is paying special tribute to business leaders who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in very challenging times and have helped our nation and the communities where they operate navigate the many challenges before us, including: defeating the pandemic, ensuring an economic recovery that provides equal opportunity for all Americans and building a more civil and just society.
The Awards Celebration commemorates the legacy of CED’s founders, America’s leading CEOs who, during WWII, heeded the call to public service to guide the transition from a wartime economy to a prosperous peacetime economy. Today, CED is fulfilling its mission by working to help ensure the nation recovers from the current crises with an economy that provides equal opportunity for all Americans.
