MESSAGE FROM
THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE
Westchester County is filled with a wealth of talented individuals who collectively make our County the place we all love
to call home. In that spirit, I join with
the Business Council of Westchester in
congratulating this year’s winners of the
Business Hall of Fame awards. These
winners are a true example of all the
talent and success that Westchester has
to offer. In County government, we are your partner when it comes growing and flourishing your businesses. Our Westchester Economic Development Office, as well as the Industrial Development Agency and Local Development Corporation, provide assistance to businesses through tax incentives, roundtables, summits and meet and greets to provide better networking opportunities, and ways to improve the businesses experience in our own backyard. For more information, contact us at (914) 995 2000. Congratulations to this year’s award winners on a job very well done — as well as the Business Council of Westchester for their dedication to making Westchester the thriving County that it is.
The quality of this year’s inductees is truly outstanding. They represent the very best of Westchester businesses and represent a wide range of industry sectors. They include a leader in the conversion of renewable waste fuels into clean energy; the nation’s largest family owned and operated healthcare laundry company; a leading provider of energy products and services for consumers and businesses; a major American source for eyewear, sunglasses and optical accessories; two highly successful women in the commercial real estate field and the largest private not‐for‐profit arts council in New York State.
Congratulations to this year’s honorees and welcome to the BCW Hall of Fame.
MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
As Chairman of the Business Council of Westchester, it is my distinct honor to congratulate the 2020 Hall of Fame Award recipients. This year’s theme of Seeing the Future of Business salutes those visionary business leaders who have achieved great success in their respective fields.
We asked each of our inductees to answer the question: “What makes a visionary leader?” Their answers reveal a vision for success that is uniquely their own.
