Most Admired Nonprofits

United Way of the Columbia-Willamette was once again named to the Portland Business Journal's list of Most Admired Nonprofits in the state of Oregon.

More than 120 nonprofits most admired by Oregon CEOs. According to Publisher Craig Wessel, the intent of the awards is to recognize companies and organizations "that CEOs deem to be the very best organizations in the region."

Pictured above is Marc Levy, United Way CEO and President, who accepted the award at a luncheon held at the Hilton in downtown Portland. This is the third year in a row that United Way has received the prestigious award.

To identify award winners, the Portland Business Journal sent out surveys to more than 2,000 CEOs throughout Oregon, and asked them to select the three companies they most admire in eight industries: technology, agriculture, nonprofits, health care, financial services, professional services, commercial real estate and traditional manufacturers. Nonprofits named by responding CEOs received points based on if they were identified as a first, second or third choice. The points were then tabulated.
