Once again, I am honoured to participate as a judge for the Small Business BC Successful You Awards for 2011. As a board member of Small Business BC, I’m proud to represent an organization which focuses on providing entrepreneurs and small businesses with resources, services and vital information that help them through their start-up phase and ignites their development and growth.
The Successful You Awards celebrates those companies and entrepreneurs that have demonstrated their success in a variety of areas. Congratulations to the top 5 companies in each of the following categories: Best Concept, Best Green Business, Best Company and Best Employer. I look forward to watching the business pitches in the final round of judging.
Join Small Business BC March 29, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver to find out the winners of each category. The keynote speaker will be Vikram Vij, a BC based entrepreneur and restaurateur who had grown his South Granville restaurant Vij’s into a highly recognized brand.
