CWI attended the Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and awards banquet on Jan. 15, 2009. The event was held at Baker’s Best in Fairlawn and was attended by a record number of local businesses.
In addition to the installation of the 2009 Board of Directors, the event highlighted many of the successes of the past year, recognized individual and community accomplishments and was successful at underlining the unity of Pulaski County, even in the current economic times.
One of CWI’s customers, Coffee Buy the Book, was recognized as Small Business of the Year. We send our congratulations to Tracey Harriman, Owner of Coffee Buy the Book. Other award recipients included Beulah House for Business Excellence, Lora Brown was presented the Student Leadership Award and Thomas “Bud” Walsh was awarded Business Executive of the Year. Congratulations to this year’s winners.
Donna Cope (Vice President – Sales & Marketing) was recognized along with other committee members for her work on the Small Business Focus Group and the Economic Development Committee.
CWI was honored to attend and be recognized. We are proud of the award recipients and look forward to another successful year with the Chamber.
