35 business leaders to be recognized in SmartCEO’s Cornerstone Awards program 
Philadelphia SmartCEO announced their 2015 Cornerstone Awards Finalists. The Cornerstone Awards celebrate the distinguished achievements of 35 of Philadelphia’s top regional business leaders. This year’s finalists collectively generate nearly $3 billion in annual revenue and employ more than 14,000 individuals. This year’s finalists were profiled in the July/August issue of SmartCEO magazine and will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on August 31, 2015 at the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel.
“It’s no secret that Greater Philadelphia is home to some of the region’s most impactful companies. Moreover, they have become part of the fabric of the communities in which they reside,” says Jaime Nespor-Zawmon, President of SmartCEO Events. “These companies are economic drivers, innovators and exemplary community stewards — they are true cornerstones of their communities. For that, we honor them.”
The finalists will be celebrated at the Philadelphia Cornerstone Awards ceremony on August 31, 2015, at the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel. An expected sell-out event, more than 200 local C-level executives and guests will attend to celebrate their achievements. The event will kick off with a networking reception followed by a video-packed awards ceremony honoring the local business leaders of Greater Philadelphia.
