Congratulations to Iris Simpson Bush, who received the Cincinnati Regional Chamber’s Distinguished Alumni Award at the Chamber’s Leadership Center Celebration last night.
The Flying Pig Marathon / Pigworks – and Iris – were Game Day’s first client and we are thrilled for her to be recognized for all our hard work in our community!
A lifelong champion for Cincinnati, Iris helped grow the Flying Pig Marathon into one of the nation’s premier running events and a significant economic driver for the region. During her tenure, she expanded its portfolio of community events while helping local charities raise millions of dollars. She has also been recognized nationally for her leadership in the running industry and locally for her decades of civic engagement and philanthropy.
The event coincided with the kickoff to Leadership Cincinnati, and recognized alumni whose commitment to civic leadership has helped make our region a growing, thriving place where everyone belongs.
