The Trophy
Chiron the Centaur, revered in Greek mythology as the epitome of wisdom and justice, stood as the esteemed mentor to legendary figures such as Hercules, Achilles, and Jason of the Argonauts. Renowned for his strategic prowess, philosophical depth, and profound appreciation for the arts, Chiron exemplified the pinnacle of intellect and virtue. In homage to the timeless virtues embodied by Chiron, the ACES Award trophy stands as a symbol of excellence, meticulously crafted to reflect the esteemed qualities we celebrate in today's captains of industry.
