The AICPA Business & Industry Hall of Fame honors CPAs who provide insight and vision to their respective organizations, understand all facets of their enterprise, and demonstrate the leadership, commitment and strategic ability necessary to help their organizations meet the challenges of today's dynamic market conditions.

The three winners are: Glen M. Elias, corporate controller of CH2M HILL, Englewood, Colorado; Keith L. Jones, controller of St. Joe Timberland Company, Port St. Joe, Florida; and Hubert C. Maddy, III, President and CEO of Summit Financial Group based in Moorefield, West Virginia.

"Ajilon Finance is proud to help recognize the achievements of these outstanding honorees," said Neil Lebovits, President and Chief Operating Officer of Ajilon Finance. "They embody the fundamental values of this prestigious award -- vision, knowledge, integrity, and commitment -- as well as the characteristics necessary to be a successful business leader in today's global marketplace."

"The winners are, of course, skilled practitioners," added John F. Morrow, AICPA Vice President of The New Finance, "but they would not have gotten where they are today without top-flight leadership skills, compassion and moral strength."

The judges were: David Blansfield, Publisher, Business Finance Magazine, Don Blankenship. Chairman, President and CEO, Massey Energy, (one of last year's inductees); and Bob Mahan, CFO, Ajilon.
