Thanks to everyone who attended the 2023 Business Recognition Award ceremony Oct. 18 at The People's Building. Visit the city's YouTube channel to view a recording of the event. The 2024 ceremony date will be posted on this page in the coming months once plans are solidified.
The program recognizes not only the economic vitality that businesses of all sizes and types bring to Aurora, but also the support these businesses provide to their employees and broader community. Award winners will be honored in person this fall at the Aurora Municipal Center.
Nominees will be evaluated by one or more of the following criteria: resiliency and community impact; innovation and creativity; “small, small” businesses with great customer service; manufacturing; and equity, diversity and inclusion. Honorable mentions also will be given to essential heroes such as community organizations, individuals, nonprofits and community initiatives that continued to provide essential services throughout the pandemic.
