Inaugural FOUNDERS Award LUNCHEON TO BE HELD AT MAYACOO LAKES COUNTY CLUB
The Western Business Alliance Will Host Its First Awards Luncheon in September
Royal Palm Beach, FL, August 15, 2016 – The Western Business Alliance will hold its
inaugural Founders Awards luncheon at Mayacoo Lakes Country Club in Royal Palm Beach on Wednesday, September 21st, starting at 11:30 AM. Tickets are $35 for members and $45 for non-members. The awards luncheon is the first of its kind for The Alliance. “I’m extremely excited for the luncheon,” said Natalie Stolbach of Barry’s Jewelry Spa and chair of the event. “We wanted to recognize those who run all sizes of business, and The Alliance is the only organization to have an award in the micro business sector for those who have one or two employees.”
The awards luncheon will recognize the achievements of The Alliance members in five different categories: businesses with over 10 employees; small businesses with 3-10 employees; micro businesses with 1-2 employees; nonprofit; and education.
The selection committee is looking for businesses who have established themselves as leaders in the community and have helped to strengthen and support fellow members of The Alliance—increasing economic growth, education and community awareness. Each nominee must meet four criteria: be a member in good standing, be actively involved in The Western Business Alliance, show how they have helped strengthen the community of TWBA businesses, and show consistent economic growth, education and community awareness.
An additional award, The Western Business Alliance Citizen of the Year Award, will be given to an individual in recognition of their community involvement. Nominees for this award do not have to be members of The Alliance.
“The Alliance has been in existence for just under 2 years and we have seen terrific growth in our membership,” explained Maureen Gross of Keller Williams Realty Wellington and TWBA Board member. “By establishing the Founders Awards, we wanted to recognize some of our member businesses that have stepped-up and interacted with fellow businesses through the Alliance, and thereby, helped strengthen the member businesses and the whole economic community.” The deadline for award nominations is Monday, August 29th.
