Best of Business 2012 finalists announced

The Best of Business program honors local favorites in 12 different industries as chosen by readers of okcBIZ magazine. Readers, peers and customers voted throughout 2011 at okc.biz to choose the best among their vendors, suppliers and business partners.

At the luncheon, okcBIZ will recognize all top five finalists and will announce the Best of Business winner in each category. The Best of Business in each category will receive an award and a feature article in the March issue of okcBIZ magazine.

“The business-to-business sector has long been ignored when it comes to recognition and awards,” Associate Publisher Jeffri-Lynn Dyer said. “With the Best of Business awards program in its fifth year, okcBIZ hopes to change that by honoring those who provide stellar service while building solid relationships with their business partners in the community. Congratulations to all who earned votes in this year’s poll.”
