AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Economic and Community Development is now accepting nominations for the 2013 Governor’s Award for Business Excellence.
“The Governor’s Award for Business Excellence showcases business innovation and spirit that has earned Maine a reputation for topquality workmanship, service and a commitment to excellence,” DECD Commissioner George Gervais said in a news release. “We encourage all of Maine’s for-profit businesses to get involved.”
Companies that have been in business in Maine for five or more years may be nominated or may nominate themselves. DECD encourages businesses of all sizes to apply. Completed nomination forms, available on DECD’s website at www.maine.gov/decd/start-grow/businessexcellence, are due to the department by Friday, Feb. 15. Winners will be notified prior to an award ceremony to be scheduled in the spring.
The Governor’s Award for Business Excellence was created in 1991, and 117 companies to date have received the award.
