PRIDE Industries to be honored at global celebration on February 16
Roseville, Calif. — Real Leaders® is thrilled to announce the 300 Top Impact Companies award winners from around the world. “This is our fifth annual ranking, and the number of award winners has tripled. It’s encouraging to see how this movement is going mainstream with businesses all over the world,” said Mark Van Ness, Founder of Real Leaders. “We are excited to welcome new and past company winners to the impact movement, and into the Real Leaders Impact Awards community.”
With its five-decade track record of creating employment for people with disabilities, PRIDE Industries is a natural fit for this illustrious group. A pioneer in the inclusivity movement, the company’s influence stretches from small businesses to governmental and Fortune 500 organizations. Its impact also reaches military veterans and former foster youth, through its Veterans Employment Advantage Program and Youth Employment Services (YES!) program, respectively.
“We are honored to be recognized by Real Leaders as a values-aligned organization, and proud to be joining this group of impactful companies,” said Jeff Dern, President and CEO of PRIDE Industries. “Our long-term focus on creating employment for people with disabilities has been a huge part of achieving this award. Every day, we prove the value of an inclusive workforce model through our operational success across multiple industries. We show company leaders that if we can do it, so can they.”
To honor this year’s winners, a virtual ceremony will be held on February 16, 2023, and will feature several high-profile speakers.
