Introducing our 2023 Award Nominees…

Opportunity Seeker Award

Is your business an innovator? Strategic thinker? See’s opportunity where others see obstacles? Is creativity and ingenuity at the heart of what you do? Maybe you deployed new ways to communicate and connect with your customers, or you were able to build new relationships with market segments that you didn’t connect with before. Perhaps you established or enhanced a stellar communications, sales, and/or marketing strategy or invested on an idea that is now starting to show profit.

Boundary Pusher Award

This award celebrates those businesses that think differently. A “boundary pusher” means you’re the type of business who isn’t afraid to take a risk or two to stay competitive. You’re the bold business that everyone is paying attention to and trying to figure out that secret sauce – a dash of courage, leadership, and some uncertainty (just the way you like it!).

Service Star Award

This award celebrates a service-based business who is best in class when it comes to building new connections and enhancing existing relationships with customers this past year (September 2022 to September 2023).
