Annual Success Awards nominations now open
EAGLE COUNTY — As the Vail Valley Partnership’s 12th annual Success Awards approach, nominations are now open for 13 different categories to honor those businesses that did exemplary work in 2014, not only for themselves, but for the valley as a whole.
Input from professionals throughout the valley is requested for nominations by Feb. 26, as your chance to spotlight the hard work and dedication required to be the best in the Vail Valley.
While previous annual Success Awards have been hosted as an evening gala, the Vail Valley Partnership is looking forward to presenting the awards at a luncheon this year. The luncheon will be held May 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
‘Vail Valley Means Business’
Support Local Journalism
The theme for this year’s Success Awards is “Vail Valley Means Business,” in support of the launch of a new economic development website coming in May. The businesses and individuals nominated and honored with awards play a significant role in driving the Vail Valley’s business community and economic growth.
“The annual success awards provide the opportunity for the business community to recognize their peers for various innovative and community minded efforts that help define the Vail Valley,” said Chris Romer, president and CEO at the Vail Valley Partnership. “We encourage everyone to nominate their favorites in each category to show that ‘Vail Valley Means Business.’”
