Last night the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce held their annual Business Excellence Awards Ceremony.  This annual event expands the scope of recognition of Chamber members for their achievements and their impact on the local business economy.  This award program highlights Chamber members and their businesses in a number of different categories: micro business, small business, intermediate business, large business, the community impact award and the entrepreneurial achievement award. 

The Fredericton Chamber of Commerce nominated Accreon in the Intelligent Community Leadership Award and last night we took home the hardware.  This is a new award that  recognizes qualities that have contributed to Fredericton having been recognized as one of the 2008 World's Top 7 Intelligent communities. The nominee must be a member in good standing with the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce and may be private sector, governmental or non-profit. The organization must excel in at least two of the following categories: broadband infrastructure, knowledge workforce, innovation, digital inclusion, marketing and sustainability.
