Entrepreneur Of The Year Award


MCE to Award Entrepreneur of the Year

Do you know a successful entrepreneur who inspires you to work harder? Is there someone that toils day in and day out for his or her business to guarantee it's a success?

Why not nominate them for a new award that honors their entrepreneurial spirit?

The successful candidate for this award will be from Wicomico, Worcester or Somerset county, and be a majority owner of a small business for two or more years. Anyone can nominate an entrepreneur. Nomination deadline is September 28th, and forms are available online at http://www.marylandcapital.org Nominate your candidate now!

Maryland Capital Enterprises has created the Palmer Gillis Entrepreneur of the Year Award to recognize the outstanding accomplishments and unending spirit of our local entrepreneurs.

A team of community leaders will rank the applicants based on an established set of criteria. A financial prize will accompany the award. The top three finalists will be invited to attend MCE's annual gala on November 10th where the winner will be announced.

The award was created to honor Salisbury native Palmer Gillis, who has spent the last 35 years building his construction company into one of the largest general contracting firms on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

He continues to give back through community service and has been a leading voice in trying to make his community a better place.

"MCE is all about encouraging entrepreneurship and helping business owners find the pathway to success. We are so excited to be able to offer a meaningful award that lets everyone in the community celebrate what they have achieved," said Hayley Gallagher, MCE's Executive Director.
