Kenosha County is home to many successful companies and business leaders. The Ovation Awards, presented annually by the Kenosha Area Business Alliance in partnership with BizTimes Media, recognizes the best of the best. They honor companies and individuals that have exhibited a history of growth, innovation, and a positive overall impact on the community.
The program, and the related feature coverage by BizTimes, provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about the companies and people that are moving Kenosha County’s economy forward.
This year’s winners represent a diverse group of businesses and entrepreneurs who have built the foundation of our community, as well as the visionary newcomers who have already made an indelible mark. They are innovators in boardrooms and the hallowed halls of education, and pioneers on Main Street.
Let’s celebrate the businesses, organizations, and individuals who deserve a standing ovation – that are entering new markets, creating community, expanding their facilities, making a positive impact, starting new ventures, educating our workforce ….and who call Kenosha County home.
