Middle Market Growth Award Winners
See the finalists and winners of the first-ever Middle Market Growth Awards and read profiles recognizing their achievements over the past year.
Last fall, we opened applications for the first-ever Middle Market Growth Awards to recognize exceptional middle-market companies and young professionals based on their achievements over the last year. Today, we’re pleased to announce the results.
Finalists and winners were chosen by a panel of expert judges selected by the MMG team and based on the editorial criteria set for each award in the areas of growth, innovation, job creation and retention, and workplace culture. Judges also selected emerging leaders who’ve contributed remarkably to their own organizations and to the middle-market community more broadly.
The MMG editorial team and our judges want to congratulate this year’s winners and finalists on their achievements, particularly in a very difficult year.
