Vail Valley Partnership announces finalists for 2020 Success Awards
The annual Vail Valley Success Awards recognize organizations and individuals nominated by their peers who they believe are worthy of recognition.
These organizations and individuals have excelled over the past year and the Success Awards acknowledges their hard work and dedication. These businesses and individuals play a significant role in driving the Vail Valley’s business community and adaptation during a difficult and unique year.
“Our community is in good hands,” organizers of the Vail Valley Success Awards said in the finalists announcement, “and as one past Success Award winner and selection committee member mentioned: ’I had no idea how many people and how many organizations were doing such great things in our community, and I’m well connected and thought I was aware of most of what was going on.”
Congratulations to all of the nominees, finalists, winners and heroes.
