Two awards will be presented at the April 27 event: the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Business Person of the Year Award and the Community Credit Union Business Excellence Award.
“The award program provides recognition for individuals and businesses that are rooted in their communities, providing strong leadership and value,” said Chamber president Andrew Lake.
The gala will feature special guest Cathy Bennett, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board for Newfoundland and Labrador.
“Cathy offers an inspirational story of applying work ethic, focus and direction to advance from a front-line worker to a successful owner/operator, respected business woman and politician,” said Lake.
Prior to her election to the Legislature in April 2013, Bennett was CEO of Bennett Group of Companies, leading Bennett Restaurants’ franchises for eight St. John’s area restaurants, a small construction company and a commercial property company. Bennett was also partner in an industrial construction and supply company and a day spa.
Her business and community focus has been acknowledged with awards as Employer of Distinction in 2011, and several top CEO in Atlantic Canada awards from Atlantic Business Magazine. She is also recipient of a Newfoundland and Labrador Organization of Women Entrepreneurs Award of Excellence.
