Call for Applications: 2025 CEO Pinnacle Awards

The highly anticipated 2025 CEO Pinnacle™ Awards program is now officially open for applications. This annual event celebrates the exceptional accomplishments of CEOs and individuals with similar roles, such as Presidents and Founders. Organized by the Chief Executives Council, this initiative aims to connect executive leaders with best practice resources, career development opportunities, and exciting peer networking engagements.

Registration Details

The call for submissions is open to all interested parties, including both subscribers and non-subscribers to the Chief Executives Council platform. Registrants can apply on their own behalf or nominate a deserving colleague through a straightforward online survey. Participants need to specify their company size and type from a selection of seven categories: Small, Medium, Enterprise, Startup, Not-For-Profit, Government, or Other, and indicate whether the organization is Public or Private.

Required Information

To take part in the awards, applicants must provide brief, relevant information pertaining to their organization’s financial performance for 2025, work experience, volunteer contributions, philanthropic efforts, and educational qualifications. Importantly, all submissions will be anonymized during the evaluation process.

Selection Process

Once registration closes on December 15, submissions will be screened using a sophisticated algorithm that identifies finalists in each category. Following this, a distinguished panel of blue-chip judges will choose the winners for each category as well as the prestigious 2025 National CEO Pinnacle Award.

Awards and Recognition

Winners will be announced on January 15, 2026, and each award recipient will receive a certificate suitable for framing. Notably, the winner of the National CEO Pinnacle Award will be honored with a distinctive gold-plated statuette, crafted by the same makers associated with the esteemed Oscar® Awards.
