"Every year I look forward to recognizing those businesses that go above and beyond and demonstrate a commitment to investment, innovation, employees, and communities," said Governor Paul R. LePage. "I am proud to present the Governor's Award for Business Excellence to companies with outstanding leadership and direction. These businesses are a model of success in our state and deserve recognition."
Business excellence is epitomized by a balanced combination of manufacturing and service excellence and a steadfast commitment to employees, customers and the community. This award is presented to for-profit companies that consistently demonstrate high levels of attentiveness and dedication in each of these areas.
"For the past 24 years, the Governor of the State of Maine has been honoring Maine's premier
employers with the Governor's Award for Business Excellence," said DECD Commissioner George Gervais. "We encourage any of Maine's for-profit businesses to consider applying for recognition this year."
Companies that have been in business in Maine for five or more years may be nominated or may nominate themselves. DECD strongly encourages businesses of all sizes to apply. Completed nomination forms, available on DECD's website at www.maine.gov/decd/start-grow/business-excellence, are due to the department by Friday, March 27. Winners will be notified prior to an award ceremony to be scheduled in the summer of 2015.
The Governor's Award for Business Excellence was created in 1991, and 132 companies to date have received the award. DECD is proud to administer the excellence awards and to work with the Governor's office and review team to evaluate and score the applications.
