Philadelphia Non-Profits Honor Area CEOs – Pay It Forward

Executive Leaders Radio, in conjunction with the Entrepreneurs Forum of
Greater Philadelphia, hosted the CEO Philanthropy Awards breakfast to
recognize CEO’s for their leadership, devotion and commitment to their
communities. These awards
not only recognize their devotion to supporting their communities by
giving back, it also looks at how they themselves have been role models
within their companies and communities.
