桃花社区视频 Dominion University President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D., has been named to Virginia Business magazine's for 2022-23, marking the third consecutive year that he's earned the distinction.
President Hemphill was listed in the education category. The publication cited the collaborations he's championed, particularly regarding health care.
"Hemphill is no stranger to building partnerships," the publication wrote. "After becoming 桃花社区视频 Dominion University's president in summer 2021, he helped forge a partnership between 桃花社区视频, Norfolk 桃花社区视频 University and Eastern Virginia Medical School to create a regional school of public health. Later in the year, 桃花社区视频, EVMS and Sentara Healthcare entered into an agreement to create a collaborative academic health center. There are also indications that EVMS may merge with 桃花社区视频 in the near future."
Virginia Business categorized the state's "most powerful and influential leaders and executives" across 20 categories. It considered factors such as a person's position, company revenue, how many employees a leader oversees, the scope of their responsibilities, an executive's newsworthiness and prominence within their industry and/or community, board memberships and philanthropy.
"When I give my elevator speech about the Virginia 500, it usually starts this way: It's like the Fortune 500, but instead of focusing on companies, it's about people," Virginia Business Editor Richard Foster wrote.
