“The judges were very tough going into this new awards competition,” said Terry Ward, chief executive officer for KPC Media Group Inc and publisher of Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly. “They were charged with identifying the best of the best and scrutinized each nominee carefully. As a consequence, some categories were not awarded this year and in others the judges asked to also recognize additional companies as honorees, which speaks volumes about the caliber of this year's winners and honorees. We are privileged to introduce these companies and individuals to northeast Indiana, holding them up as models to emulate,” said Ward.
