The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce has announced nominations for the province's business excellence awards, the ABEX Awards presented by Conexus Credit Union, are now open.
"The Chamber has been hosting the ABEX Awards for over 28 years and each year the nominees and finalists get better and better," says Saskatchewan Chamber CEO Steve McLellan.
"Last year 40 exceptional Saskatchewan companies were recognized as ABEX Finalists and over 750 people came out to celebrate their success on awards night. We are planning for an even bigger event this year."
The Chamber is proud to announce a new award sponsored by Innovation Saskatchewan. The new Innovation Award will be presented to a Saskatchewan business that demonstrates excellence in the utilization of an innovative product, technology or system which has tangibly contributed to improved sales and/or productivity. Judging takes into account the originality of the innovation and its impact.
Being an ABEX Finalist provides companies with a significant opportunity to increase the profile of their business among clients, investors and job-seekers. It is also a great way to celebrate accomplishments, strengthen the workplace and build staff morale.
Nominations for the 29th annual ABEX Awards will close on May 31.
"The ABEX awards are the longest running and most prominent business awards in Saskatchewan," adds McLellan. "Being an ABEX Finalist is a testament to a business' success and as a Chamber we work hard to promote these businesses and celebrate their accomplishments."
There are a total of 10 ABEX Award categories and nomination forms can be found at online at www.sask chamber.com
The ABEX Awards are open to all private sector businesses operating in Saskatchewan and self-nominations are welcome in all categories. The 29th annual Achievement in Business Excellence (ABEX) Awards Dinner will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 in Regina at the Delta Hotel.
