“Each [honoree] already has made their mark in this region, and each will continue to be a leader in business in the Greater Lehigh Valley for many years to come,” said David Schankweiler, CEO of Journal Multimedia, parent company of Lehigh Valley Business.
More than 200 people attended the third annual ceremony, which included networking and concluded with video vignettes of the honorees. MassMutual Eastern Pennsylvania, Best Principled Solutions LLC and Lehigh University MBA were key sponsors of the event.
“We honor these individuals for their accomplishments in their chosen careers, their commitment to their communities and their struggle and hard work to achieve both,” Schankweiler said, “yet keep the most important parts of their lives – their family and friends – first on the list.”
