The keynote speaker will be Roland S. Martin who is one of America’s most prolific journalists and the cultural voice of reason, particularly from an African American perspective.

Mr. Martin will be speaking from this year’s theme: “Walking in Our Economic Power.”
The 2018 CEG Business Excellence Awards Gala is equal parts ceremony, celebration and entertainment. This year’s musical entertainment is a “cutting” from “All Hail the Queen: A Tribute to Aretha Franklin,” a rousing “snapshot” of the life of the “Queen” and her music. A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the business awards which spotlights individuals and companies that have demonstrated consistent growth, unique vision, innovation and support of Cincinnati’s economy and the small and minority business community.
