Premiere Credit President/COO Todd Wolfe and CEO David Hoeft receive 2004 Entrepreneur of the Year honors from Ernst & Young at an awards ceremony held in Indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Three Ernst and Young, Entrepreneur of the Year 2004 Finalists will participate in a half-day, interactive business forum on June 10th, the Presidential Forum: A Peek at the Winners' Playbooks. Scott Whitlock, President/CEO, Flexware Innovation, Inc. and Todd Wolfe , President/COO, Premiere Credit of North America, will join a panel of top leadership from Indiana businesses who will share their strategies for running visionary and successful companies. Gerry Dick, Grow Indiana Media Ventures, will make opening remarks at the event. All three are finalists in the Realizing Business Potential category of the Ernst and Young competition. The winner will be announced at an awards banquet that very same evening.
"The Presidential Forum was planned independently of the Ernst and Young competition. The fact that we have three business leaders scheduled to participate and all three turn out to be finalists in the same category is very ironic. It shows the caliber of the speakers we have lined up for the forum. This is a rare opportunity to have access to seven business leaders who will candidly share their strategies for success and provide insight on leadership skills needed to grow a business," said Mark Richardson, President, New Foundation Enterprises, and one of the event co-sponsors.
Joining Whitlock and Wolfe at the Presidential Forum are: Elaine Bedel, President, Bedel Financial Consulting; Dennis Bland, Center for Leadership Development; Russ Sutton, President, Buildings-to-Go; Jerry Throgmartin, President/CEO, H.H. Gregg; and Angie Witham, President/CEO, Dugdale Communications.
The Presidential Forum will take place on Thursday, June 10th, 7:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, University of Indianapolis campus, 1400 East Hanna Avenue .
