The events will culminate in an awards dinner and gala held on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at the Downtown Marriott's Imperial Ballroom (in the Muehlbach Tower). The evening extravaganza will feature a networking reception, Wall of Fame, sit-down dinner and a choreographed awards ceremony highlighted by the Dave Stephens Band and video featuring the honored companies. In addition to honoring the 25 winners, we will also be presenting the 2009 Entrepreneurial Legacy Award to Kurt Mueller, CEO of the former Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. The Legacy award is presented to an individual in the community whose contributions have created an environment in which entrepreneurs can thrive.
