During the 13th annual American Business Awards in Chicago June 22, Talking Rain Beverage Company President and CEO Kevin Klock was recognized with a Gold Stevie Award for Executive of the Year, and the Preston-based company itself received the Silver Stevie Award for Company of the Year.
“We are extremely thrilled to receive both Gold and Silver Stevie Awards within such competitive categories,” said Klock.
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations, public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” the awards were presented at a gala in Chicago with more than 400 nominees and guests attending.
More than 200 executives worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s award winners.
Stevie Awards are conferred in six program areas: Asia-Pacific; Germany; American Business Awards; International Business Awards; Women in Business; and Sales and Customer Service.
