Our own Bob Chur and ElderWood Senior Care won this prestigious award in 2009 for outstanding leadership and ethical business standards.  Their awards are handed out to three different business categories, small (fewer than 50 employees), mid-sized (50 to 150 employees), and large (greater than 150 employees).  With 3,000 employees, ElderWood won in the large category.  Anyone may nominate a company, after which they go through an extensive screening and audit process.  Some companies who have won in the past are:  The Alcott Group, Colvin Cleaners, Copeland Data Systems, Klass Ingredients Inc, (small); Building Controls & Services, Hanes Supply, Integrity Distribution (medium); LP Ciminelli, Quality Inspection Services (large).  Fred handed out nomination forms for us to use to nominate a company.  You may nominate your own company if you wish
