Celebrate Excellence in Financial Journalism: Honoring Leonard Sloane at the Financial Follies
The 82nd Financial Follies gala will honor Leonard Sloane, who spent the bulk of his career as a personal finance reporter and columnist at The New York Times, and who continues to write about investing as a freelance writer for the The Wall Street Journal as a nonagerian. He will be recognized for his dedication to the NYFWA and his unprecedented run performing in 50 consecutive Financial Follies.
Sloane, who began his career as a financial journalist in 1956 as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, will be awarded the “Citation of Appreciation for Distinguished Service to the NYFWA” at this year’s Financial Follies.
