SYRACUSE — CenterState CEO on Nov. 19 hosted a virtual event recognizing nearly 300 local companies as 2020 Economic Champions.
The event acknowledged the local firms for “driving the region’s economy forward” through job creation, business expansions, and investments in operations.
The virtual ceremony also recognized organizations that have demonstrated “resilience and innovation” during the COVID-19 pandemic, an element that CenterState CEO said was “new this year.”
Recognitions
In its Innovation Excellence recognitions, CenterState CEO acknowledged businesses and organizations that have made a “significant innovation” in 2020 in response to COVID-19 that “contributed to growth or improved quality of life” for the people of Central New York.
In the Resilient Response recognitions, the organization recognized those that “quickly adapted” a product, service, or program to respond to the COVID-19 crisis that “exemplified its business resiliency and resulted in company growth or public benefit.”
CenterState CEO also presented its Community Visionary Award to the Allyn Family Foundation. The award is given to an organization which “embodies the vision of economic opportunity and has had a significant impact on community prosperity.”
The 2020 Economic Champions included almost 300 companies that ranged from A to Z — A Dog Days Out Grooming Salon to Zonta Club of Syracuse — and everything in between.
