SYRACUSE — A member of the management team at the organization Great Place to Work will deliver the keynote address at CenterState CEO’s 2019 annual meeting.
Tony Bond, executive VP and chief innovation officer of Great Place to Work, will speak as part of the event that starts at 12 p.m. on April 24 at the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center at Oncenter in Syracuse. The doors open at 11:30 a.m.
The luncheon is the region’s largest annual gathering of business and community leaders, CenterState CEO says.
Great Place to Work defines its mission as an effort “to build a better world by helping organizations become Great Places to Work FOR ALL,” per its website. It has offices in New York City and Oakland, California.
In his role at Great Place to Work, Bond shapes the organization’s “culture- transformation” work. He has served as a “trusted adviser” for some of the most successful global organizations, including the National Basketball Association; Dallas, Texas–based AT&T (NYSE: T); Stuttgart, Germany–based Daimler; Atlanta, Georgia–based Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO); job-search website Indeed; Austin, Texas–based Whole Foods; Midland, Michigan–based Dow Chemical Company; and New York City–based American Express (NYSE: AXP).
“Our research has long demonstrated that when we are able to build winning workplace cultures, it’s better for business, better for people and better for the world,” Bond said in a CenterState CEO news release. “I look forward to being a part of the conversation on how we can drive innovation and economic growth through highly engaged employees.”
Bond’s focus is particularly relevant as the region’s businesses prioritize the need to attract and retain talent, and “cultivate more inclusive and innovative” workplaces, CenterState CEO said. The ability of businesses to “remain agile, embrace change and evolve their workplace culture to not only impact their bottom line, but to serve a broader population of those seeking opportunity, serves as a blueprint for driving greater regional prosperity.”
“We are excited to welcome Tony to Syracuse as we examine how businesses and communities can evolve to create transformational change,” Robert Simpson, president and CEO of CenterState CEO, said. “We challenge the business community to lead with intention to drive innovation. When we maximize business success, and human potential at all levels, we can achieve greater economic prosperity for our region.”
CenterState CEO’s annual meeting will also unveil the 2019 Business of the Year award winners. For more information, visit: www.centerstateceo.com/AnnualMeeting.
