The CBS Radio EVP/Operations has been named one of the recipients of the 25th Anniversary Ellis Island Medals of Honor. The medal, established by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations (NECO), recognizes a group of distinguished American citizens and role models from different disciplines and backgrounds who are dedicated to community service, making positive contributions to society, and helping create a better world.
The Ellis Island Medal of Honor boasts a list of famous and influential awardees throughout its 25 years including six Presidents of the United States, Nobel Prize winners, athletes, leaders of industry and artists, and is considered one of the country’s most prestigious awards. Recipients of this honor are listed in the Congressional Record.
