Nominations are now being accepted for the Kansas Department of Commerce’s annual Business Appreciation Month awards. The awards, announced each June, serve as a statewide tribute to businesses for their contributions to Kansas and the local communities the businesses serve.
Nominations are accepted from chambers of commerce, economic development organizations, small business development centers, organizations and individuals.
Companies may also nominate themselves.
Regional finalists are recognized at an awards ceremony during the Kansas Calvary Encampment, with the top nominee receiving the Governor's Award of Excellence, the top award given to a business by the state.
The nomination deadline is 5 pm on March 30th, and late nominations will not be accepted.
Nominations can be made on-line here kansascommerce.com/index.aspx
For more information, contact the Department’s Krista Mellen at (785) 296-7911 or kmellen@kansascommerce.com.
The nominees will be evaluated during the month of April, with regional winners in the divisions of manufacturing/distribution, service, retail and hospital/non-profit, selected.
