Working hard for something we don’t care about is called “stress”. Working hard for something we care about is called “passion”. Our passion and commitment are what make us go the extra mile. It’s what make the difference between a mere experience and one which truly demonstrates excellence.
“It is always a tough job for our judges to select just one recipient in each category,” says Chamber Executive Director Allan Asaph. “Our judges tell us that interviewing the nominees is an inspiring, uplifting and often emotional experience as they hear of the hard work, effort and determination that goes into being the best at what they do”. “We are proud to give our nominees an evening to be recognized and rewarded for all they contribute to making our city such a desirable place to live and do business,” Asaph concludes.
