The Belk Inc. retail chain and a group of job-training agencies will receive this year's Jerry Awards from the Charlotte Regional Partnership. “Both Belk and these work force development boards understand the fundamental key to success: Know your customers and meet their needs,” says Ronnie Bryant, president and chief executive of the partnership.
These Jerry Awards are corporate awards named for the initial recipients of the honors: Carolina Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson and Jerry Orr, aviation director at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
Belk, which gets the private sector Jerry Award, has 303 stores in 16 states and employs more than 900 in its Charlotte corporate headquarters. Plus it sponsors the Belk Bowl, a collegiate football game that brings visitors and media attention to the Queen City each year, Bryant notes.
Charlotte Works, Pee Dee Workforce Investment Board and the Centralina, Gaston County and Region C work force development boards get the public sector Jerry Award.
The corporate awards will be presented May 10th at the Charlotte Convention Center.
