The
2015 Executives’ Association of New York City Deals of Distinction
program honors innovative business leaders and deal-makers from the
Greater New York City
region who have a unique story to tell about a business transaction
and/or partnership that made a significant impact on the company and its
success. Finalists and winners will be chosen by an independent panel
of local business leaders and assessed based
on the details of their deal/partnership, and how it positively
affected the organizations involved, the industry or the business
community as a whole. The finalists will be profiled in the May/June
issue of
SmartCEO magazine and celebrated at an awards gala in May.

York. This year’s finalists will be profiled in the May/June issue of New York SmartCEO
magazine.
