“These powerful and innovative achievers are the architects of thriving workplaces and communities throughout and beyond the sunshine state,” said Rich Black, ONYX Magazine’s publisher, CEO, and editor-in-chief. “With admiration, we embrace them for their unwavering service and steadfast approach which is only surpassed by humble acceptance of an MOH award.”
MOH will recognize Errol “Doc” Holliday as the Man of the Year. Holliday is known for his work as an engineer on the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. The International Man of Honor is Sir Franklyn Wilson, a businessman and philanthropist from The Bahamas. ONYX Magazine will award additional special awards and four scholarships to young men aspiring to higher education.
This year, Orange County, Fla., Mayor Jerry Demings (MOH 2021) and McCoy Federal Credit Union President Alvin Cowans (MOH 2022) return as honorary chairs. They will be joined by honorary co-chairs Gary Harfield (MOH 2019), the president of Serenity Village; and Sam Barrington (MOH 2022), the president of Sky Limit Crane & Rigging; Chair Dee Parker, president at Parker Realty Group, and Co-chair Nancy Port Schwalb, president of Schwalb Public Relations.
