Makpar Chosen as a Finalist Out of 700 Applicants for Chase Bank Dream Big Award
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced Makpar from Leesburg, Virginia as one of the finalists for its annual Dream Big Awards. The Awards, presented by Chase for Business with support from MetLife, celebrate the achievements of small businesses and honor their contributions to America’s economic growth.
“Over the last several months, small business owners have faced challenge after challenge. Yet, despite these challenges small business owners never stop innovating, pivoting, taking risks, working hard, and dreaming big,” said Tom Sullivan, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Small Business Policy. “Small businesses are a critical and vibrant sector of the U.S. economy. The U.S. Chamber is proud to celebrate the very best in American small business through our Dream Big Awards.”
The Dream Big Awards program includes Business Achievement Awards to recognize excellence in eight categories and reflect the leading businesses in each of the following areas: community support and leadership, emerging, green/sustainable, minority-owned, veteran-owned, woman-owned, young entrepreneur, and small business of the year. This year’s finalists were selected from a record of over 700 applicants.
The Minority-Owned Business Achievement Award recognizes the success of one small business and honors its contributions to the growth and diversity of the American economy. This award recognizes a minority-owned small business that has attained outstanding business achievement and exemplifies the significant contributions made by minority-owned businesses in the country.
“Running a business is an awesome responsibility – to our employees and to the community. We are very proud of our diverse and talented associates who have supported us in our efforts to make a positive impact for our clients and for our community.”
Seema Khan, President & CEO
