Charlotte Regional Business Alliance® President and CEO Janet LaBar is being honored in the inaugural Power 100 list by the Charlotte Business Journal. The list recognizes the 100 people who will drive the Charlotte Region’s next phase of growth. The group will be recognized at a celebration ceremony at Camp North End on Thursday evening.
According to the Charlotte Business Journal, the Power 100 reflects leaders who are “exercising the power they have to make more of the region – building bigger companies, launching unique training initiatives, investing in emerging corridors, questioning the status quo, innovating and diversifying, and, most importantly targeting ways to bring more and better jobs here.”
CLT Alliance Board Chair Malomb Coley, who also serves as EY Central Region private leader and Charlotte managing partner, was ranked No. 4.
