2006 Bay Area CFO of the Year Awards
Larkin Street Youth Services and the San Francisco Business Times are proud to announce the smashing success of the first annual Bay Area CFO of the Year Awards. The event celebrated the unsung heroes who have played a critical role in making their companies successful and have contributed to the success of the Bay Area's economic growth and stability. In honoring these business and financial leaders the event was able to raise $200,000 in net proceeds to benefit Larkin Street Youth Services. On June 7, 2006 the sold-out crowd of Bay Area business and financial leaders enjoyed a dinner and awards ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco to honor the finalists and winners.
