Excellence in Commerce

Six employers honored for growth, commitment

Six Lawrence companies are winners of Excellence in Commerce Awards from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, honored for factors ranging from ongoing growth to community involvement.

About 135 business leaders and guests attended the program’s awards breakfast Tuesday at SpringHill Suites by Marriott.

Winners move on to the state’s Excellence in Commerce Awards, to be presented in June by the Kansas Department of Commerce.

“Each and every one of these companies has risen to the very top,” said Pat Flavin, the Lawrence chamber’s chairman, who presented trophies to winners Tuesday.
