We’ve been nominated by the Orange County Business Journal for the 2012 Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award. The ceremony takes place at noon today at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine. We’re very honored to be nominated for this prestigious award that is designed to recognize individuals who exemplify the American entrepreneurial spirit — individuals who, by their creativity and determination, have established and nurtured successful business ventures.

The Orange County Business Journal says that entrepreneurs are a powerful economic force, especially in a down market, and that more than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, pointing to the fact that new firms generate jobs and promote growth in the economy. They also state that this is the perfect opportunity to recognize clients or business associates who have distinguished themselves by their foresight, determination and accomplishments.

We’re very proud to have grown steadily as a company every single year, even through the recession and we’re thrilled to be recognized! Thank you Orange County Business Journal!
