Deadline Is Tomorrow for Continued Excellence Award Nominations

SPRINGFIELD — Time is just about up to nominate an individual for the first annual Continued Excellence Award, presented by HCN’s sister publication, BusinessWest. The deadline is tomorrow, May 22, at 5 p.m.

The new award, sponsored by Northwestern Mutual, is an offshoot of BusinessWest’s 40 Under Forty program, which recognizes young professionals for their career accomplishments and civic involvement. The Continued Excellence Award will be presented annually to one former 40 Under Forty honoree who, in the eyes of the judges, has most impressively continued and built upon the track record of accomplishment that earned them 40 Under Forty status.

The inaugural award will be presented at this year’s 40 Under Forty Gala on June 18 at the Log Cabin Banquet & Meeting House. All 40 Under Forty winners from 2007 through 2014 are eligible. Nomination forms are available at businesswest.com/40-under-forty/40-under-forty-continued-excellence-award.
