2021 Business Hall of Fame & Community Leaders of the Year
The best leaders are often the ones who do it naturally. Being successful in business and impacting the community in positive ways go hand in hand. We need people doing both in order to thrive as a region.
The Business Hall of Fame inductions started in 1996 as a bicentennial project with the city of Cleveland. It was a hit with the community, so Cleveland Magazine's Community Leader has continued inducting leaders in the business sectors every year since then. When choosing honorees, we look for men and women who achieve career success that is impossible to overlook — the type that builds and powers our communities.
These are people who also have the drive to impact the greater good and demonstrate that leadership extends far beyond the boardroom. The growth of our region depends as much on the leaders running our communities, nonprofit organizations and government entities as it does our corporate citizens.
That's what the Community Leader of the Year Awards celebrate. These recipients have made a significant impact in the categories of arts, education, public service/government, diversity and inclusion and environment, nonprofit organizations and sustainability. These are leaders who are making a difference one important initiative, big idea or creative endeavor at a time.
