The Fragrance Foundation's Board of Directors has announced that Ann Gottlieb, president of Ann Gottlieb Associates Inc., will receive the Circle of Champions Award at this years Circle of Champions dinner on October 17 at The St. Regis Hotel in New York.

The award, according to the foundation, is presented annually at a dinner ceremony during Fragrance Week to an individual who has made a notable and newsworthy impact on the fragrance industry.

Past honorees of the Circle of Champions Award have included Leonard Lauder, chairman of the Estée Lauder Companies, Pete Born, vice president and associate publisher of Women's Wear Daily, and Annette Green, president emeritus of The Fragrance Foundation, among others.
