The recipients were honored at an Oct. 10 ceremony at The Briarcliff Manor estate in New York. The sixth annual event was co-hosted by the journal and RSM, an audit, tax and consulting service. The honorees were selected by judges by Robert J. Chersi, executive director of the Center for Global Governance, Reporting and Regulation at Pace University; Andi Gray, founder of Strategy Leaders Inc.; and Francis Petit, an associate dean at the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University.
