The 2008 Business Leaders of the Year
What makes a good leader?
Since 2001, Mainebiz has asked our state's great executives and entrepreneurs that very question. For our annual Business Leader of the Year issue, we've made it our mission to scour the state's business landscape in search of the leader who stands head and shoulders above his or her peers. We rely on readers to tell us who's doing a bang-up job in the corner office. And we use our reporters' experience covering Maine's vibrant business community to unearth names that, for one reason or another, haven't gotten their just due.
We've celebrated hospital administrators and newspaper publishers, construction pros and banking executives. We've cheered on coffee merchants and nonprofit directors. And with each Business Leader of the Year, Mainebiz has offered readers inside access to some of the most successful and intriguing executives and entrepreneurs in Maine.
This year, to better represent Maine's diverse business community, we're separating the field, recognizing leaders from large companies with 50 or more employees, small companies with fewer than 50 employees and nonprofit organizations. Mainebiz is pleased to introduce the recipients of the 2008 Business Leaders of the Year award: In the large-company category, Ford Reiche, president of Safe Handling in Auburn; in the small-company category, Kent Peterson, CEO of Fluid Imaging Technologies in Yarmouth; and in the nonprofit category, Chip Morrison, president of the Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce in Lewiston.
