2013 Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner
CED hosted its 2013 Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner on November 20, 2013 in New York City, New York.
The Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner recognizes business leaders who have answered this call for leadership in their companies and the communities in which they operate.
In 2013, we were pleased to once again recognize an outstanding group of companies and individuals.
Thanks to our 83 sponsors, 450 guests and of course, our six honorees, who made the night so very special.
We look forward to seeing you next year.
