DC Chamber Announces 2014 Small Businesses of Excellence

The Douglas County Chamber and Douglas County Sentinel are pleased to announce the 2014 Small Businesses of Excellence. These seven businesses are recognized for successful operations and growth as well as service in their community.

The Chamber is proud to recognize the important role that small businesses play in Douglas County and its economy. They recognize the work of our Small Business Committee who created the Small Businesses of Excellence designation from what was previously our Small Business of the Quarter Awards.

In the third year of offering the Small Businesses of Excellence, the Chamber received over 30 nominations for Chamber member businesses. After being nominated by the community and their peers, each company completed a thorough application covering company information, growth, community involvement and adversity among other criteria. An independent panel of judges composed of business professionals and community leaders reviewed the applications, met to discuss their findings and make their selections.
