The Little Giant Awards, By Ken Mahoney

The next Rockland Business Digest will be coming out in the week or two.

We will unveil the winners of this year's Little Giant Awards.

The Little Giant Award honors small businesses that represent a spirit of innovation, a dedication to the county, and a willingness to improve not only their own bottom-line, but the business community, as well.

These awards will give excellent exposure to Rockland’s Small Businesses, which make up nearly 85% of the total businesses in the entire county. Awards will be given in seven (7) categories:

1. Family-Owned Business: Recognizes exemplary performance in a solely owned and run family company or organization. 2. Minority-Owned Business: Recognizes outstanding performance in a MWBE business. 3. Micro-Business (Less than 3 employees): Recognizes innovation in running a sole-proprietorship or true micro-enterprise. 4. Best B-to-B Business: Outstanding service and products which help other businesses to reach their objective. 5. Business Community Supporter: Recognizes a company, which understands the importance of a strong business core. 6. Most Innovative Business: Recognizes risk takers with bright ideas. 7. Best to Work For: Provides outstanding work environment and opportunities for all employees.
