Chamber Business Excellence Awards deadline nears
The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce 25th annual Business Excellence Awards nomination deadline is February 19.
Representing the highest business honours in Cranbrook the awards recognize businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations for their successes and contributions to the local economy and our community.
“We are still looking for nomination in all categories,” said executive director David D. Hull. “For some reason the nominations are a bit slow coming in this year. We know there are tons of worthy nominees in Cranbrook and we urge folks to go to our website and nominate.”
The Business Excellence Awards use a juried panel system to determine the award recipient.
Multiple nominations are not necessary nor a determinant. Self-nomination is not only permitted but encouraged. If your organization is excellent please let us know.
