The Circle of Excellence is a group of 10 CEOs who posses a particular aspect of leadership that makes them unique in the Greater Washington business community.

These 10 CEOs are admired leaders in their industry and are chosen based on  criteria within a set of categories and the input from an independent panel. Categories include going green, customer service excellence, philanthropic/community involvement, resiliency, family business and more. The winners will be interviewed by SmartCEO’s award-winning editorial team and will grace the cover of the June issue. The 10 CEOs will also be celebrated at the Circle of Excellence awards event in June.
