Selections of the CEO of the Year honorees are a separate component of The Portland Business Journal's annual Oregon's Most Admired Companies awards. The Portland Business Journal's editorial staff selected the CEO of the Year honorees based on a ranking of several criteria, including company performance, management style, innovation and community involvement. Awards were distributed to CEOs in the following industry categories: manufacturing, technology, commercial real estate, financial services, professional services, health care, nonprofits, and agriculture and forest products – as well as the overall winner across all industries. 

"I am honored to accept this recognition," said Brown. "Receiving it in 2012 is especially rewarding as we continue to navigate the weak economy and work our way through ever-increasing regulation." Brown continued, "Of course a CEO cannot be successful without a great team, so I accept this award on behalf of our talented and dedicated employees who, in spite of a still difficult operating environment, successfully work to meet the needs of our clients and communities."
