A Message from ERC’s President & CEO Welcome to NorthCoast 99!

If the Northeast Ohio region were a stage, the NorthCoast 99 winning companies would be the A-list stars! I feel so lucky each year to have front-row seats to see the best companies in action. They not only perform, but also inspire others to aim for the spotlight.

Kelly Keefe

President & CEO Event Emcee kkeefe@yourERC.com

“Winning NorthCoast 99 is not easy, and this group of 99 employers is constantly evolving, listening, and responding to the needs and desires of today’s talent.”

This year’s theme, “Company’s Got Talent,” signifies that the NorthCoast 99 winning organizations have developed cultures and positive reputations that draw talent from not only the Northeast Ohio region but also from across the nation, helping to grow our regional economy.

Winning NorthCoast 99 is not easy, and this group of 99 employers is constantly evolving, listening, and responding to the needs and desires of today’s talent. The leaders of the NorthCoast 99 find the intersection between creating outstanding policies and practices and building a culture of highly engaged workers who propel their businesses forward.

We at ERC are thrilled to recognize and honor this year’s winning organizations as part of our 26th annual NorthCoast 99 awards program and event. NorthCoast 99 is made possible each year thanks to the support of our Sponsors and their belief in NorthCoast 99.

Additionally, ERC’s Board and Staff deserve special recognition for their hard work and commitment to building great workplaces.
