Nominees for Business Excellence Awards juried
Sixty-three Cranbrook businesses, individuals and organizations nominated for a 2016 Business Excellence Award have now completed the jury panel interview portion of the awards process.
The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce office was crazy busy for the entire week. āWe had 63 nominees, 33 judges and at times up to four rooms going simultaneously all weekā, said chamber office manager Laura Kennedy. āThe process is really rewarding.Ā The judges and the nominees find the process very satisfying and worthwhile.ā
Under a current cloak of secrecy the recipients for the 11 awards will be revealed at the Business Excellence Awards gala April 2 at St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino.Ā This year the gala will wrap up with a dance to local recording artists and renowned performers The Black Diamond Band.
