Do you think you’re one of the fastest growing companies in the Lehigh Valley?

Prove it by nominating your business for the Lehigh Valley Business’s Fastest Growing Companies program, which identifies the region’s most dynamic companies that have made significant contributions to the strength of our local economy.

The program will be held October 28 from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at DeSales University. The Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) is a sponsor for the event.

“We are excited to host the 4th annual Fastest Growing Companies awards, presented by Baker Tilly and sponsored by LVEDC,” said Mike O’Rourke, Lehigh Valley Business publisher. “This program has grown year over year and we are thrilled to be moving the event to a new venue at DeSales University on October 28.”

Nominated companies will be ranked according to revenue growth over a three-year period, with both dollar and percentage increases taken into consideration. This ranking formula will lead to recognition of both large and small companies.
