Gwinnett's best businesses and non-profits to be celebrated at the Pinnacle Small Business Awards Ceremony on April 23
Duluth, GA- In support of National Small Business Week, the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce will recognize and honor Gwinnett's best small businesses and non-profits at the Pinnacle Small Business Awards Luncheon Presented by Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) on April 23 at the Atlanta Marriott – Gwinnett Place at 11:30 a.m. From these finalists, Gwinnett's top 25 Pinnacle Small Business Award winners, and its top Small Businesses and Non-Profits of the Year will be announced that afternoon for small, medium and large categories. United Way In Gwinnett Area Director Demetrious Jordan will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the Pinnacle Awards.
"Even in this tough economy, Gwinnett continues to have a vibrant small business sector. Our small businesses employ more than half the county's private work force, create three out of every four jobs, and generate a majority of our innovations," said Gwinnett Chamber President & CEO Jim Maran.
The Pinnacle Small Business Awards are among the Chamber's most prestigious awards. This year's celebration recognizes both emerging companies as well as companies that have exhibited a substantial history as an established business. With the challenges facing small businesses today, this year's awards also focused on the company's response to adversity and service to the community.
The following companies were selected from more than 300 nominations as Gwinnett's Pinnacle Small Business Award Finalists.
