CenterState CEO to Announce 2019 Business of the Year Winners
Syracuse, NY – CenterState CEO invites the community to discuss this year’s theme of Lead with Intention at its 2019 Annual Meeting to be held Wednesday, April 24, noon, at the Oncenter in Syracuse. Join us as we examine how businesses and communities can evolve to create transformational change, and maximize human potential at all levels for greater business success.
The premier gathering of the region’s business and civic leaders will feature a keynote address from Tony Bond, executive vice president and chief innovation officer of Great Place to Work. In his role at Great Place to Work, Bond shapes the organization’s culture transformation work, and has served as a trusted adviser for some of the most successful global organizations, including the National Basketball Association, AT&T, Daimler, Coca-Cola, Indeed, Whole Foods, Dow Chemicals and American Express.
Bond’s focus is particularly relevant as the region’s businesses prioritize the need to attract and retain talent, and cultivate more inclusive and innovative workplaces. The ability of businesses to remain agile, embrace change and evolve their workplace culture to not only impact their bottom line, but to serve a broader population of those seeking opportunity, serves as a blueprint for driving greater regional prosperity.
The event will also unveil CenterState CEO’s five 2019 Business of the Year recipients.
