Frisco Chamber Award Celebration Finalists Announced

Finalists for the Frisco Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Award Celebration have been narrowed to a few select businesses.   From nearly 100 pages of applications for 11 categories, the selection of the final few was a difficult process for the cross section of Frisco business professionals that comprised the nominating committee.

“It was a challenge for the all-volunteer committee to select the best of the best” said Tony Felker, President/CEO of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. “With so many outstanding applicants, the committee worked diligently to determine the final nominees.”

The annual awards are meant to honor those individuals and businesses that have made a positive impact on the Frisco community during 2014.  Each application was subject to review and adjudication by the volunteer committee.
