Chamber Seeks Nominations for 2009 Business & Industry Awards
For over 20 years, the Richardson Chamber of Commerce and the three Richardson Rotary Clubs (Richardson Central Rotary Club, Richardson East Rotary Club, and Richardson Rotary Club) have honored local Richardson businesses at a special luncheon event each year.
Last year, the Richardson ED Partnership, RCC's Signature Luncheon Committee and the three Richardson Rotary Clubs created a new Business & Industry Awards Luncheon event and presented six new awards to recognize Richardson businesses and organizations for their many contributions to the local economy and the community.
The highlight of the awards program was a brief video on each award recipient. Filmed and produced by the city’s media department, the video presentation was an outstanding addition to this very special luncheon event.
