Direct Energy and Pittsburgh Magazine are committed to Southwestern Pennsylvania and continue to recognize the region’s unsung heroes who go above and beyond in the community. With that commitment in mind, the two companies recently introduced the Small Business Community Heroes award program. The program will recognize a small business owner who exemplifies the volunteer spirit in the community. Please take a few minutes to nominate that individual by Sunday, May 19, 2013 by 11:59 p.m. at www.directenergy.com/heroes.
For purposes of this program, a small business is defined by having less than 100 employees, and nominees do not need to be Direct Energy customers. The award is open to all residents of communities in the Pittsburgh Magazine market area (i.e. Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington and Westmoreland counties). Nominations should be no longer than 500 words and must detail the specific contributions the small business owner has made to improve the community through volunteerism.
Growth is good. And that’s exactly what we are seeking to do.
