On October 25, CED’s annual Distinguished Leadership Awards Celebration will honor business leaders who have answered the call for leadership in their companies and the communities in which they operate and demonstrated exemplary Leadership in Challenging Times.
Highlighting the outstanding work of our Awardees offers the business community strong examples they can follow, and it pays tribute to 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. Our honorees and their introducers are highlighted below, with a special thank you to our sponsors. View the Previous Awards Winners
