Jeff
Gordman, president and CEO was honored in Kansas City, Missouri as a
recipient of the 2011 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award
for his dedication to the company and community alike. In 2011 the
program celebrated its 25th anniversary and has expanded to recognize
business leaders and entrepreneurs in 140 cities and more than 50
countries. "This is an incredible award and I feel it speaks about our
company as a whole and this never would have been possible without the
support and dedication of our 4,000-plus associates whom I'd be honored
to share this with," said Gordman.
As
a recipient of the regional award, Gordman will be invited to Ernst
& Young National Award Gala which will be hosted by Jay Leno in
