Ryan praises Wills and Gresham Ford for ongoing generosity reflected by the award.
“Bess is always thinking about how she can better her community,” Ryan says. “Gresham Ford has proven that a business can enrich a community through dedicated philanthropy and selfless volunteerism. In an age where people have gotten polarized, with a ‘big businesses people versus others’ atmosphere, this puts things back in perspective. Without good businesspeople, we wouldn’t have jobs. We’re just lucky to have her in the community.”
