Laurie Beck, president and CEO, Insurance Network America, Boise, ID, was honored recently by receiving the inaugural Icon award from the Idaho Business Review. The publication recognized 16 community leaders who fit that description.
The honor celebrates a track record of professional success and community service. IBR’s inaugural Icon award winners represent a diverse mix of industries, including insurance, banking, healthcare, entrepreneurship, law, technology and the arts.
The 16 professionals who were selected will be featured in the 2018 Icon publication and recognized at a gala on August 7 at the Boise Centre East.
Tracey Stone, recruitment and marketing manager at MassMutual Idaho, served as a judge and said the scoring process was no easy task. “Every candidate I reviewed is accomplished, admired and exemplary in the business community,” said Stone, an IBR Women of the Year honoree. “Each one should be receiving recognition as a leader in our state! It makes me want to put my work boots back on and go make a difference too!”
Laura Smith, director of public relations for Idaho Central Credit Union and another IBR Women of the Year winner was also impressed with the contenders. Smith said, “Their true genius and everything they have done to give back to their community is overwhelming!”
