Four Nashville-area execs are part of the 22 finalists for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur Of The Year award in Alabama/Georgia/Tennessee.
Community Health Sytems CEO Wayne Smith is the most prominent name on the list. Smith joined CHS in January 1997 and has built the company into the largest publicly traded hospital operator in the country.
Other locally based finalists are Cordia Harrington, founder and CEO of Tennessee Bun Co., which makes bread products for restaurants; Joe Cashia, founder and CEO of outpatient dialysis center company National Renal Alliance; and Harold Crye, co-founder and CEO of Crye-Leike Realtors.
The locals will find out if they're winners in late June at a banquet in Atlanta. Regional winners will then be entered in E&Y's national competition, whose winner will be named this fall.
