Update! Award winners will be announced at #ELGL17 on May 12 in Detroit.
The impact of the 2016 ELGL Choice Award remains — ELGL members are making more informed decisions in selecting vendors and Choice Award winners are gaining new clients.
For 2017, you’ll notice a major change to the award. Due to his unmatched entrepreneurial skills (Entertainment 720, Rent-A-Swag, and Tom’s Bistro), which are shared by many Choice Award winners, we honor Tom Haverford by renaming the Choice Award to recognize his contributes to local government.
