The Council for Quality Growth will honor Doug Hertz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of United Distributors, with its 31st annual Four Pillar Award virtually on October 1, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. His embodiment of the Council’s ‘Four Pillars’ of leadership – Quality, Responsibility, Vision and Integrity – and exemplification of the Council’s mission of promoting balanced and responsible growth sets an example for everyone.
“After careful consideration and in consultation with Doug, his family, and the Council’s Board of Directors, we collectively feel that a virtual event is in the best interest of public health and safety. Doug’s leadership from the onset of the discussion was always focused on the health of others – further testament to how deserving he truly is of this recognition,” said Council for Quality Growth President and CEO, Michael Paris.
Paul Corley Jr., the Council’s 2020 Chairman and Regional President at Empire Communities, stated, “We all want to be there to honor Doug in person, no doubt. Given this challenge, I think we all can show Doug just how much we support and recognize his impact on this community and state by saving the virtual event date on our calendars, tuning in, and giving him a really great audience for all he’s done for us. We hope you’ll join us in showing Doug how much we care.”
The Council will publish virtual logistics closer to the event date. To be updated on this event, subscribe to the Council’s email list by clicking here. Sponsorship information is available at www.fourpillartribute.com.
