ANDERSON, Ind. – Madison County Chamber (MCC), the voice and catalyst of Madison County’s marketplace, has announced the nominees and award finalists for its 2015 Annual Awards Gala which celebrates the best in business in Madison County and surrounding areas.
Winners will be announced at a #COURAGEOUS-themed, semi-formal awards ceremony and gala presented by St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital and the Story Shop on Thursday, February 26, at the Madison Park Church of God.
