Business Excellence Awards weighs up nominees

The 17th annual Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade Business Excellence and Business Person of the Year Awards will take place on October 13 at Deer Creek Golf Clubs. This year there are a total of 4 nominees for the Business Person of the Year award and 19 nominees for the Business Excellence award. The winners can highlight this honor when they arrange for a new business card. Printing companies will make sure that whatever information you want will be included on your new business cards.

The awards are presented by TD Bank Financial Group and tickets costs $130. Registration begins at 5:30 pm and dinner begins at 6:30 pm; vegetarian meals are an option if arranged at the time of purchase.

Each nominee for the Business Excellence award is evaluated by an independent panel of judges based on three categories based on the number of employees the business employs. In addition to presenting the two main awards there will also be presentations recognizing “outstanding contributions” in Global Business Excellence and Sustainability Champion.

The awards dinner will be an excellent networking opportunity; those attending should bring lots of business cards to pass to those they are sharing a table with or those they will meet before and after the dinner. New business can come out of any social gathering between business owners. Also, by hearing the stories of the winners, those attending can learn what each person or company did to deserve this award and try to duplicate the success with their own business.
