There’s nothing quite as nice as being able to deliver good news, and this edition of the Cumberland Business Journal is chock full of it. We have the distinct honor of recognizing dozens of Upper Cumberland businesses and individuals for a job well done over the past year with our annual Ovation Awards issue.
This is the third year we’ve brought these awards to you, and each year gets better and better with more nominations and compelling reasons why different awards should be given. Sometimes the tough part is in deciding who gets recognized, so we hope you’ll agree the winners in this edition are certainly deserving.
More than ever, this year’s awards are special because of the tough economic times the entire country has been facing. Thankfully, things seem to be looking up and it’s at least partly due to our 2010 Ovation winners for their quality service, perseverance and dedication to success. For that, we extend a heartfelt gesture of approval – an ovation – for your accomplishments and contributions.
Even in tough times, there were many good things happening throughout the Upper Cumberland. Proof positive of our local area success is in the pages to follow – we hope you enjoy this year’s winning lineup and thanks for reading the CBJ.
