The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is seeking nominations for the 2015 Marketplace Governor’s Awards, which will recognize outstanding Wisconsin businesses owned by minorities, women, and service-disabled veterans.
The nomination deadline is Thursday, July 30. Nomination forms and more details can be found at MarketplaceWisconsin.com.
Small and large businesses will be honored in two categories: “The Outstanding Business Award,” which recognizes established businesses that have demonstrated the capacity to grow over the past five years and have plans for continued expansion in the future; and “The Rising Star Award,” which honors businesses established after 2011 that have demonstrated strong growth potential.
The Marketplace 2015 awards are open to Wisconsin-based companies that have been certified as MBE, WBE, or DVB businesses by the State of Wisconsin. Companies that have not yet been certified businesses will be connected with the agencies necessary to receive state certification. Marketplace top award winners in the past five years are not eligible for a 2015 award. Runner-up finalists are encouraged to apply.
