Calvin Business Partners Awards

---

The Calvin Business Partners Awards honors businesses and individuals that have partnered with the Calvin University School of Business to create outstanding learning opportunities for our students.  

Keynote Speaker

We are excited to hear from Bob Chapman, the Chairman and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller. This capital equipment and engineering consulting firm employs nearly 8,000 team members worldwide. Over the past two decades, a series of realizations led Chapman away from traditional management practices to Truly Human Leadership—a people-centric approach where his team members feel valued, cared for, and integral to the company’s purpose. Chapman’s experiences and the transformation he championed were the inspiration behind his 2015 WSJ bestseller Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family, co-authored by Raj Sisodia. Chapman’s story exemplifies what’s possible at the intersection of great business strategy and profound care for people.
