From John Puscheck: The Unsung Heroes of Our Economy
The engine for growth in the American economy has always been the small business. It is once again in the spotlight as the key to job growth and a sustained recovery from the recession. Now more than ever it is important to recognize the value and importance of the small business and to celebrate its success. For these and many other reasons, the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased each year to be able to present our Small Business of the Year Awards.

Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient Announced
The Chamber is pleased to announce Kenneth F. Packer, Ph.D., P.E., as the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient as part of the 2010 Small Business of the Year Awards.

"We are honored and pleased to recognize him as our Lifetime Achievement Recipient at the 2010 Small Business of the Year Awards," said Chamber President & CEO, John Schmitt. "Packer Engineering is an example of the spirit and prowess of the American entrepreneur. Dr. Packer's commitment to providing leadership for his employees, our business community and students, is just one example of many in his career which we will highlight at the Small Business of the Year Awards on Friday, May 28."

And The Nominees Are...
