2016 Distinguished Performance Awards Dinner

Share

The Distinguished Performance Awards Program recognizes business leaders who have answered the call for leadership in their companies and the communities in which they operate. History has shown that when business becomes significantly involved in helping to solve key economic problems, it can have a long-term positive effect on society. Highlighting the outstanding work of our Distinguished Performance Awardees offers the business community strong examples they can follow.

CED's 2016 Dinner took place on September 14 at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. A list of past and present awardees can be viewed here.
