The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has a record number of nominees (76) for the 2015 Business Excellence Awards.

The chamber completed the tally after the close of nominations last Friday and declared an unprecedented number of individual nominees this year.

Chamber Executive Director David D. Hull, working on his first Business Excellence Awards since taking the Chamber helm at the start of the year, was very impressed.

“The 76 nominees actually comprised of well in excess of 100 nominations as many very excellent businesses, professionals, and organizations were nominated numerous times,” he said.

For the first time the Business Excellence Awards nominees will be adjudicated in a juried panel system at the beginning of March.

“We have a three person panel conducting interviews in a preformatted manner,” said Hull. “We are confident that the nominees will really enjoy their meeting with the panel and to be given the opportunity to expand and discuss their individual businesses and organizations.”

Award recipients will be announced as part of the Business Excellence Awards gala evening Saturday, April 11 at the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino.

Hull is encouraging gala attendees to secure their tickets early as the capacity is capped at 230 and with so many nominees tickets will be in demand for what is certain to be an early sold out event.

Tickets are available from the chamber by calling 250-426-5914.
