PKL CEO, Mike Naylor, Recognized as Director of the Year 2023
September 18, 2023
PKL is proud to share that our CEO, Mr. Michael Naylor, was recently recognized by the Corporate Directors Forum as one of the top 6 Directors in San Diego for 2023. This year marks the 26th year of the awards, presented to leaders nominated by their peers for their work to “embody the transformational, forward-thinking leadership required to address the global challenges facing organizations today.”
The Director of the Year Award was established to recognize outstanding board directors who live in the San Diego region or serve San Diego-based organizations. Five awards—in the categories of Corporate Governance, Enhancement of Culture & Inclusion, Companies in Transition, Emerging Board Leader, and Not-for-Profit Board Leader—recognize recent achievements, while the Lifetime Achievement Award is given to a director who has demonstrated superior leadership spanning decades.
Mike is the Chief Executive Officer and Board President and Secretary for PKL and was recognized as such in the category of Emerging Board Leader. He was presented the prestigious award at a formal gala earlier this month, hosted at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla. A number of PKL staff, professional colleagues, and friends of Mike were in attendance for the event to show their support and appreciation for the work he does at PKL and within our community.
Speaking on his award, Mike shared these thoughts: “I feel honored to be selected from an extremely competitive field of great candidates and to stand on the stage with a great cast of awardees that make significant contributions to their organizations and San Diego.”
