2023 CEO Pinnacle Awards – Call for Applicants

Chicago, IL—October 16, 2023— The annual CEO Pinnacle™ Awards is now accepting applications. The program recognizes effectiveness and achievements of CEOs and related roles/titles including Presidents and Founders. The annual program is produced by the Chief Executives Council, a community and platform focused on training and career development, recognition, and peer networking.

Registration is now open for the 2023 CEO Pinnacle Awards; the program is free to both Chief Executives Council subscribers and non-subscribers. Registrants may self-nominate, or nominate a colleague or peer via a brief, online survey form. Registrants must select from 7 categories for company size and type (Small/Medium/Enterprise/Startup/Not-For-Profit/Government/Other; Public vs. Private). Registrants anonymously submit brief information about 2023 financial performance, work experience, volunteer or philanthropic activities, and educational background.

All registrations are then screened by an algorithm to identify finalists by category. Then a blue-chip panel of judges select the CEO Pinnacle Awards by category, and ultimately a National 2023 CEO Pinnacle Award. Final Extended Entry Deadline is January 12, 2024. Winners will be announced by February 1, 2024, and all winners will receive a frame-quality Certificate. The National CEO Pinnacle Award winner will receive a gold-plated and engraved statuette/trophy manufactured by the makers of the Oscar® Awards. A CEO Awards Gala Event is scheduled for February/March 2024.

“The responsibilities of Presidents and CEOs continue to be more complex and demanding in the 2023 business environment”, states Neil Brown, CEO of Chief Executives Council. “The annual CEO Pinnacle Awards recognizes these important executives, and winners share their remarkable journeys at the ‘must see’ 2023 CEO Awards Event.”
