Meet the Greater Philadelphia judges

The success of the program relies on the efforts of our independent panel of judges. These past Entrepreneur Of The Year ® Award recipients and civic and community leaders devote significant effort to review and deliberate the merits of each nominee. We deeply appreciate their dedication to the program.
