Member and Gala Chair, Catholic Business Network of Montgomery County
On Friday November 16, 2007, The Catholic Business Network of Montgomery County
was pleased and honored to award Mr. Ed Quinn as the “Business Person of the
Year” for 2007. The awards dinner and Gala was held at the Bethesda North
Marriott and over 500 people were in attendance to recognize Ed, a Catholic
leader who has made important contributions throughout the County and the
Washington Metropolitan Area. The Business Person of the Year Award was created
by the CBN Board of Directors to recognize Catholic leaders for their example
to the community.
Ed’s success as a businessman, combined with his great generosity, have allowed
Ed and his wife Cathy to give their time and financial resources to numerous
charities supporting Catholic education, wounded military veterans, health
causes, the homeless, the elderly, the disabled and low income families. TW
Perry has donated and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help those who
are economically challenged. TW Perry also provides discounted building
materials to volunteer groups and helps to host fundraising events.
Ed is a tremendous asset to the local Catholic business community and CBN-MC is
honored to have him as our 2007 CBN-MC Catholic Business Person of the Year.
