The Annual Small Business Excellence Awards recognizes local companies who make an impact on our business community and the people that they work with through creativity, innovation and a drive for success. This year we will be honoring the Small Business of the Year along with additional awards for Community Service, Innovation, and Employer of the Year. We will also recognize two leaders from our nonprofit sector with the Charitable Partners Award.
