"Best of the Best" honors those businesses in our community that represent the finest in innovation, vision and development.
The inaugural event, held in January 2020 was a live dinner, with guest speaker State of Connecticut Economic and Community Economic Development Commissioner David Lehrman.
Due to pandemic conditions in 2021, the Corporation pivoted and held a virtual event. The guest speaker was Dr. Jeremy Levin (Chairman and CEO of Ovid Therapeutics, Inc.; Chairman, Biotechnology Innovation Organization; Chairman, New Milford Covid Recovery Committee).
The Corporation plans for 2023 include once again honoring the "Best of the Best" in person.
