Sanford, Fl (PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- “Many CEOs generate profits and provide great products and services — but some take leadership to an even higher level, earning the respect of their workers, clients and community. This year, Orlando Business Journal is honoring 28 CEOs at the helm of some of Central Florida’s most well-known and emerging firms who have shown their ability to navigate current market conditions successfully and leave a lasting legacy through their community involvement.” - Cindy Barth (Editor with OBJ)
