Business leaders across the greater Plainfield area came together this week to honor their own, at the annual Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce Awards.
“We are truly excited with the enthusiasm and support we have received from the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce Membership,” Director Liz Collins said. “More than 60 businesses were nominated for the awards.”
Wednesday evening’s celebration, held at Whitetail Ridge Golf Club in nearby Yorkville, gave an opportunity to local entrepreneurs, CEOs, charitable organizations and municipal leaders to pay homage to those in the business community that went above and beyond the norm during the past 12 months.
The Retail Business of the Year award went to David and Dawn Kaleta, owners of Elegance Underneath lingerie shop in Naperville. Restaurant of the Year honors went to Scott Ward of Tap House Grill on Lockport Street in Plainfield.
Cathy Kuchenbecker was honored for her business, Paramount Promos, in the category of Professional Services Business. Governmental honors went to Plainfield Library and its Director Julie Milavec. The non-profit category awarded the C.W. Avery YMCA with its annual honor.
Two home-based businesses shared their category awards. Both Susan Gutierrez of Dove Chocolate Discoveries and Julie Krouse of Mary Kay Cosmetics shared the honors in this burgeoning segment of the local business community.
Finally, the chamber thanks one of its business ambassadors each year, for individual efforts on behalf of the chamber. This year, the award went to Rochelle Mons Larson of Legal Shield.
“Although we view each and every nominee a winner, we did have the difficult task of choosing the one that best exemplifies each category,” Collins said. “Congratulations to all of our winners.”
