NRF Foundation Honors co-hosts – Macy’s, Inc. Chairman and CEO Jeff Genette and former Qurate Retail Inc. President and CEO Mike George – share how they built inspiring retail careers.

Gennette and George will deliver remarks to start the NRF Foundation Honors, which celebrates the retail professionals building better lives and stronger communities and is the NRF Foundation’s biggest stage for telling the story of how retail builds extraordinary careers.

“There are infinite ways to build a diverse career in retail, and I just can't imagine a more dynamic, innovative, fast-paced, engaging, customer-focused industry to be a part of,” says George, who previously served as chair of the National Retail Federation board.

The NRF Foundation Honors recognizes the retail professionals who are building better lives and stronger communities. Since 2015, the event has raised the funds needed for NRF Foundation programs and resources, including its retail skills training, undergraduate scholarships and more.
