CBC President & CEO Honored By Local Minority Organization

The Ashanti Award
CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon received the Ashanti, meaning “thank you,” award for being an advocate of minorities.

The Raleigh-Wake Citizens Association M-PAC presented its first annual Ashanti awards at a banquet on Saturday, October 19, 2002. Capitol Broadcasting Company President & CEO Jim Goodmon was honored as one of ten recipients; CBC VP of Community Relations Paul Pope accepted the award on his behalf.

RWCA M-PAC, a non-partisan component of the RWCA especially devoted to promoting and monitoring the interests of African Americans and other minorities, presented the Ashanti awards to civic leaders who have served the community well through business initiatives, charitable contributions, faith-based efforts or volunteer activities. Ashanti, is the Swahili word for thank you, and the awards were developed to do just that.
