Once again, the Phoenix Business Journal is recognizing outstanding members of the Valley who move the community forward with their leadership.

The 2020 Most Admired Leaders honorees come from a variety of industries and backgrounds. They champion innovation through corporate-giving programs, board service and volunteerism as well. The winners are chosen by a panel of former Most Admired Leader award recipients.

Due to the pandemic, the event was postponed from earlier in the year and will be held in a virtual format on Tuesday, Dec. 1. Click here to register and for more information.

The Lifetime Achievement Award recipient this year is Dan Burke, chairman of Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing. He has worked for the company for 32 years.

Founded in 1939, Goettl is one of the largest mechanical contractors in Arizona with $30 million in gross sales during 2019, according to Business Journal research.
