Avidian honored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for commitment to employees, customers and communities.
REDMOND, Wash. – March, 2010 – Avidian Technologies has been named as one of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Blue Ribbon Small Business Award winners. The award honors 75 businesses throughout the United States that demonstrate excellent business practices in several areas, including business strategy, employee development, community involvement and customer service.
“Receiving the distinction as a Blue Ribbon business demonstrates that what we’re doing is making a difference,” said James Wong, co-founder and CEO, Avidian Technologies. “The role of small- to medium-sized businesses in the economy can’t be overstated and at Avidian, we strive everyday to not only provide a superior product and great customer support to our valued clients, but to do our part in building a stronger economy.”
This year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce saw a 40 percent increase in award applicants over 2009; resulting in Avidian, as well as other Blue Ribbon winners, being selected from a record number of nationwide submissions.
“This award is about more than recognizing financially successful businesses,” said Thomas J. Donohue, U.S. Chamber president and CEO, in a news release. “It’s about honoring those that show a commitment to their employees, sound business practices, and bettering their communities. These companies have made these commitments, and the Chamber is proud to recognize their contributions.”
All Blue Ribbon winners will be honored at America’s Small Business Summit 2010, May 17–19, in Washington, D.C. During the summit, one Blue Ribbon winner will be named the DREAM BIG Small Business of the Year.
“We take our responsibility to our customers and our community very seriously,” said Tim Nguyen, co-founder and CIO, Avidian Technologies. “Receiving this award and thus being considered for the Chamber’s Small Business of the Year is a phenomenal accomplishment that belongs to everyone who has helped make Avidian a successful company.”
