Greenwich Library announced that Barry S. Sternlicht, Founder, Chairman and CEO of leading global private investment firm Starwood Capital Group, will be honored as the 10th recipient of the Peterson Business Award.

Alan Schwartz, Executive Chairman of Guggenheim Partners, will present this prestigious award to Mr. Sternlicht at the 10th Anniversary Peterson Business Award Dinner, to be held on March 2, at the Greenwich Hyatt Regency Hotel. Library Trustees Dan Daniels and Robert Marks are serving as co-chairs of the event. The dinner is held every other year and is the library’s only major fund-raiser.

The Peterson Business Award was established in 1997 by the Greenwich Library and the Peterson Foundation to “recognize and honor an individual whose innovative thinking, leadership, and sustained record of achievement has had a profound impact on the national and global economy, and whose words and deeds have demonstrated a commitment to intellectual freedom and open access to information.”

“We are pleased to present the 10th Peterson Business Award to such a distinguished honoree,” said Haley Elmlinger, President of the Greenwich Library Board of Trustees. “Barry Sternlicht embodies all the attributes of this accolade, which celebrates leaders who have made significant contributions to both business and society.”

The Peterson Business Award is named in honor of Clementine Lockwood Peterson, whose 1992 bequest made possible a new 32,000 square-foot wing at the Greenwich Library.
