Great Place to Work Exec to Speak at CEO’s Annual Meeting, April 24

We are extremely fortunate and excited to welcome Tony Bond, executive VP and chief innovation officer of Great Place to Work, to deliver the keynote address at CenterState CEO’s 2019 Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 24, at the Oncenter in Syracuse. 

In his role at Great Place to Work, Tony shapes the organization’s culture-transformation work, and has served as a trusted adviser for some of the most successful global organizations, including the National Basketball Association, AT&T, Daimler, Coca-Cola, Indeed, Whole Foods, Dow Chemicals, and American Express. 

He will share how their research has long demonstrated that a winning workplace culture is “better for business, better for people and better for the world.”

Bond’s focus on the need for businesses to remain agile, embrace change, and evolve their workplace culture is particularly relevant as we explore the theme of “Lead with Intention” at the event. Intentional leadership is the necessary force for linking programs, policies, and systems to achieve true impact. When we maximize business success, and human potential at all levels, we can drive greater economic prosperity for our region. 

I hope you will join us on April 24 and be part of our efforts. Register on our website or contact Lisa Metot at (315) 470-1870 or lmetot@centerstateceo.com [for more information].
