So proud of our team , check us out in this edition of Pride Magazine ~ Charlotte, NC!
What does it mean to be an outstanding professional? It’s more than simply doing a job. It’s showing initiative, taking responsibility, solving problems, embracing challenges, continuing to learn and going the extra mile.
With more than 400,000 people in Charlotte’s workforce, there are countless professionals making a difference every day, and sometimes the people doing exceptional work don’t get the recognition they deserve.
That’s why Pride Magazine’s Best of the Best 2026 shines a spotlight on outstanding professionals across our community. From vice presidents and directors to wealth management advisors, recruiting managers and more, these individuals represent excellence, dedication and leadership in their fields.
This year’s first batch of honorees represent organizations including ACCESS SERVICES,INC., Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte Country Day School, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (Charlotte's got a lot), Fifth Third Bank, Food Lion, for the Carolinas, GEM Investments and Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont.
Join us in celebrating the professionals who go above and beyond and give them the kudos they deserve! 👏
