The Kansas City Chamber of Commerce recently disclosed the contenders for the 2024 Small Business of the Year award. These businesses, belonging to an array of industries, have displayed exceptional growth and dedication to the community.
The Chamber’s President and CEO, Joe Reardon, disclosed that they received 60 applications and expressed his enthusiasm for such active participation. He also outlined the difficulty in deciding the winners due to the impressive quality of all entries.
Top-tier businesses were unveiled during an exclusive event sponsored by UMB Bank. Revealing these standouts helped emphasize their commitment to supporting industry leaders and cultivating a thriving business community.
One of the acknowledged participants is Sherry Lumpkins from Blue Symphony, who felt “like royalty for a day” upon receiving the nomination. However, she shared that the journey getting here was far more important than the actual accolade.
