For more than a quarter century, the CED Distinguished Leadership Awards have been honoring business leaders and their companies who exemplify CED’s mission by answering the call for corporate citizenship and demonstrating a strong commitment to public policy in the nation’s interests.

The CED Annual Distinguished Leadership Awards Celebration pays special tribute to business leaders and their companies who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in very challenging times and have helped our nation and the communities where they operate navigate the many challenges before us, including: defeating the pandemic, ensuring an economic recovery that provides equal opportunity for all Americans building a more civil and just society and upholding a rules-based international order.

The Awards Celebration commemorates the legacy of CED’s founders, America’s leading CEOs who, during WWII, heeded the call to public service to guide the transition from a wartime economy to a prosperous peacetime economy. Today, CED is fulfilling its mission by working to help ensure the nation recovers from the current crises with an economy that provides equal opportunity for all Americans.
