2010 Leaders Portfolio Awards

About the Awards

We created the 2010 Leaders Portfolio Awards for two reasons.   First, our host Rebecca Blacksmith wanted an outlet for rewarding strong leadership within the DC area (Baltimore, DC, Northern VA) business community.

Secondly, we received an overwhelming and unexpected response from people wanting to nominate CEOs for the show but with no outlet for doing so since guests are exclusively selected to appear on Leaders Portfolio by our research team. This awards program was created as a way to allow CEOs to nominate their colleagues, employees to reward bosses, businesses to recognize clients, and listeners to identify leaders.

Leaders Portfolio wishes to thank our sponsors for their support (Hilton Garden Inn of Fairfax, VA, Dennis Kowal Architects, The Riverwalk of Fanning Springs, and Wow Services Group), as well as, congratulate our 2010 Leaders Portfolio Award Winners. Judges graded applicants based on the quality of their answers to a variety of leadership questions.  The judges were pleased with the wide variety of entries, be it size of company, sector, region, etc.  Some entries were businesses with less than 5 employees and others were businesses with 300, 400, or even 600+ employees.
