Local business leader and philanthropist, Harvey L. Massey,CEO and founder of Orlando-based Massey Services, Inc., has been inducted as a Laureate into the Junior Achievement Mid-Florida Business Hall of Fame.
The Junior Achievement banquet, held on Nov, 20, 2008 at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, Florida,has honored some of the top business and community leaders in Central Florida for the past 30 years. More than 1,300 guests attended the event, which attracted many past recipients and their colleagues. Also honored as 2008 Hall of Fame Laureates were Alan Ginsburg of CED Companies and the late William C. France of NASCAR. University of Central Florida President John C. Hitt was bestowed the Spirit of Achievement Award.
“I’m deeply honored to share this recognition with distinguished leaders such as Dr. John Hitt, Alan Ginsberg, and the late Bill France, Jr., a truly remarkable group of community and business leaders,” said Mr. Massey. “Over the years, I’ve learned that one of the singular and absolute truths in business, as well as in life, is that no one scales the business mountain and stays there for any period of time without the help, hard work,support and encouragement of a lot of generous and unselfish people who keep you moving along the way. I am thankful for the support of my family and am proud of our Massey Services team members and all they have given back to Junior Achievement.”
Massey Services has been supporting Junior Achievement for over 20 years. Tony Massey, President and COO of Massey Services, is currently serving on the Board of Directors, and many of the Massey Services team members are involved through projects teaching throughout the community. In addition, Massey team members contribute to JA through an annual Bowl-A-Thon event every spring.
