“In this tough economy some businesses have had to close their doors, while others have managed to thrive. We want to recognize those businesses that not only make a difference in their communities, but represent excellence in the state, and have developed a model that other businesses may want to emulate,” said SOM Dean John Helmuth.
Dr. Stephanie Burns, chairman, president and CEO of Dow Corning will give a keynote address. Burns will also accept the Corporate Leadership Award presented to Dow Corning Corporation.
Tickets are still available for $75 per person or $600 for a Corporate Table of eight. Please contact the School of Management at 810-762-3253 or jlince@umflint.edu.
