“The Business Journal recognizes there are many contributors to the strength of the regional economy and recognizes them in industry-specific categories,” said Carole Valade, editor of the Business Journal. “This is always a laborious task, but important as the region continues to grow. This is not a popularity contest, but recognition of industry talent and regional success.”
The nominees will be honored in late January.
