A remarkably diverse set of nominees has been put forward for the Cook County Chamber of Commerce’s 2015 Business Awards, Chamber Executive Director Jim Boyd announced last week.
“At our Nov. 3 Gala, sponsored jointly with Visit Cook County, we will give three awards,” Boyd said. “They are for Entrepreneur of the Year, Business of the Year and Community Business Leader of the Year.
“The last award is to an individual who demonstrates extraordinary dedication to community through volunteer work. Nominations for the awards came from the Cook County business community. ”
The gala will begin at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with a cocktail hour in the ballroom at Lutsen Resort. It will continue at 6 p.m. with dinner in the lakeside dining room (with additional seating in the resort pub if needed). At 7 p.m., the program will begin. It will include presentation of the awards, short remarks by Sen. Tom Bakk and a short keynote address by Sheila Smith of Minnesotans for the Arts on the economic importance of the arts to Cook County.
Cost to attend the gala is $10 per person. Links to register are available on the Chamber website at www.cookcountychamber.org.
