Kansas City Business Journal’s Most Admired CEOs awards honor top chief executives in the Kansas City metro who are recognized by peers and the business community for outstanding leadership, company performance and community impact. The program is run editorially by the Kansas City Business Journal, part of the American City Business Journals network. Honorees gain local visibility, validation among regional business leaders and coverage in a dedicated special section and event. Selections are based on nominations and editorial review rather than paid placement.
