The International Honoree Award is conferred upon those who have furthered the ideals of the Society through outstanding business and managerial leadership, or meritorious contributions to education for business and administration or both.
Formerly known as the National Honoree, the Society’s highest honor was renamed in 1999 to more closely reflect the global nature of business.
