To recognize and honor Vermont’s best companies, the Vermont Chamber and Vermont Business Magazine created the Deane C. Davis Outstanding Business of the Year Award in 1990. Named for the former Governor of Vermont, this annual award honors a Vermont business that shows an outstanding history of sustained growth while displaying an acute awareness of what makes Vermont unique. Last year’s winner was Dealer.com of Burlington, and recent award winners include GW Plastics of Bethel, the Foley Family of Companies, Small Dog Electronics, and BioTek Technologies.
Each year, the Vermont Chamber and Vermont Business Magazine present the Deane C. Davis Outstanding Business of the Year Award during the annual Vermont Chamber Business & Industry EXPO. The award is given to the Vermont business that has made exceptional accomplishments on a consistent basis and demonstrated success by:
- Continued growth in number of employees and/or sales
- Commitment of company resources, including employees to community projects
- Recognition of the environment as a natural and economic resource for Vermont
- Creation of a positive work environment for all employees
Finalists of the award will be announced in the May edition of Vermont Business Magazine. The winner will be announced during the opening ceremonies of the Vermont Chamber Business & Industry EXPO on Thursday, May 21, 2015.
