Several days ago I attended the Business Excellence Awards ceremony hosted by the Penticton Chamber of Commerce. Here are the winners for 2009:

We were nominated in the “hospitality and tourism” sector and I felt so honoured to be in the company of so many wonderful business people. I had a terrific time at the dinner and met some very interesting people at our table. I was also simply amazed when I heard the award winner bios. Penticton has so many outstanding business people and I could not believe their commitment to their community and to charity work. It was such an eye-opener for me, and I learned a lot about the importance of giving and what it means to be successful both in business and in life.
