Vail Valley Partnership announces Success Awards nominees

Winners will be announced at May 13 event

The Vail Valley Partnership’s Annual Success Awards every year recognizes businesses and individuals who have excelled over the past year and acknowledges their hard work and dedication. These businesses and individuals play a significant role in driving the Vail Valley’s business community and economic growth.

The Vail Valley Partnership this year received nominations for 142 businesses and organizations, as well as 62 individuals, across 10 award categories. Last year’s award winners reviewed the applications and then voted for their top choices in each category.

“It was such a privilege to be nominated last year and an honor to win an award, but I have received a tremendous bonus by being involved in this year’s vetting and selection process,” said Rich Clubine, owner of Active Energies Solar, LLC. “It was a reminder of the amazing people and organizations that I am proud to share this valley with, and I am reinvigorated to make a difference like each of them do every day.”
