The BizWorld Foundation Recognizes Leaders in Business and Education

Online, March 25, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The BizWorld Foundation Awards Dinner: Investing in the Leaders of Tomorrow will be held at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown San Francisco on April 11th, 2013. This annual event is an opportunity to recognize leaders in business and education that offer inspiration to their peers and serve as role models to the next generation. The BizWorld Foundation is proud to acknowledge their contributions.

The BizWorld Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded on the belief that every child deserves to receive the skills necessary for success, and BizWorld works to ensure that students of all socioeconomic backgrounds are equipped with an education in basic business, finance, and entrepreneurship. The annual BizWorld Awards Dinner publicly acknowledges individuals who have had a positive impact in the realm of education and business, and whose success serves as inspiration to students just beginning their own journeys toward meaningful careers. The BizWorld Foundation firmly believes that role models in the areas of business and education are too seldom recognized for their influence, and that their achievements must be spotlighted so young students might find positive encouragement to pursue personal success and become thriving contributors to society.

At the 2013 BizWorld Foundation Awards Dinner, John Hennessy, President of Stanford, will be honored for Education Innovation. He will be lauded not only for his accomplishments as an innovator himself, for the manner in which he nurtures this quality in others, and for guiding Stanford into becoming a leading institution of innovation.

Also recognized at The BizWorld Foundation Awards Dinner will be John Watson, CEO and Chairman of Chevron. Mr. Watson will be honored for his demonstrations of corporate excellence, and for guiding Chevron Corporation into becoming an industry standard-bearer of safety and excellence.

The public is welcome to attend the event, and tickets are available on The BizWorld Foundation's website at www.bizworld.org or by calling 415-503-5880.
