Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Texas: For Immediate Release, August 1, 2007

Nominations are now being accepted for the HEB Chamber’s 2007 Business of the Year Awards. Members can be recognized as Small, Medium or Large Business of the Year based on the number of employees in their company.

The Business of the Year Awards recognize the accomplishments of Chamber member businesses over the past year. Nominations will be judged based on business management, commitment to quality, contributions to the community and accomplishments and achievements of the company.

Chamber members can nominate their own company or a business they admire. The Award Winners’ visibility will be increased throughout the community in many ways such as recognition in area newspapers, the printed Chamber newsletter, which is distributed to over 6,000 local businesses as well as an advertisement in the weekly Chamber communication. These award winners will have the use of the HEB Chamber Business of the Year logo for their business advertising and each recipient will receive a sign to display in front of their business. These Chamber winners will also be honored throughout the year at Chamber events and recognized on the Chamber website.

The 2006 Business of the Year recipients were J & G Jewelers - Small Business of the Year; Benenati, Carroll & Kocian, P.C. – Medium Business of the Year; and Carter BloodCare as Large Business of the Year. The nominees will be recognized and winners will be awarded at the Chamber’s 2007 Annual Awards Gala on September 15 at the Hyatt Regency DFW Airport.

All applications must be received at the Chamber office no later than August 10. For an application or more information, call Suzy Goldman at the HEB Chamber at 817-283-1521 or email suzygoldman@heb.org.
