These outstanding leaders are confident, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They help build their community, seek new challenges at work, and aren’t afraid to question authority. They should serve as a model for us all to emulate.
On Saturday evening, February 22, there will be an awards gala to honor these 40 outstanding business and community leaders at 7 p.m. at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, North Carolina.
