September 19th, 2014
Howard County School Superintendent Renee A. Foose was honored last night by the Daily Record Newspaper as one of Maryland’s 30 most admired CEOs. She received the honor during an awards dinner held at the BWI Hilton, and was the only honoree from a school system named to the annual list of the state’s top business and non-profit leaders.
“This honor is certainly well-deserved, because Dr. Foose exemplifies all of the qualities of a visionary executive,” said Ellen Flynn Giles, Chairman of the Howard County Board of Education. “The award reflects her outstanding leadership in transforming an already great school system into one that is truly world class.”
Honorees were selected based on their demonstration of leadership and vision; competitiveness and innovation; community leadership and service; financial performance and growth; corporate leadership and board service; and nonprofit involvement. according to a release from the Daily Record.
“Being named a Most Admired CEO takes more than in-depth knowledge about running a company or organization. It requires an extraordinary level of drive and ambition because it is a tremendously challenging job,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “They have learned the value of surrounding themselves with great team members, with leaders and employees who believe in the organization’s core values and mission. We at The Daily Record are honored to recognize these inspiring individuals.”
Dr. Foose and the other winners are profiled in a special magazine insert of today’s edition of the Daily Record.
