Highland Outdoor was recently nominated for Kansas City’s Top 10 Buisness’ by the KCB and KC Magazine. They held a nominations event at Hotel Phillips, in beautiful downtown Kansas City. Rich Clark and I had the pleasure of representing Highland Outdoor, while Jason was at PLANET Summer Leadership in Vermont.

We were one of hundreds of companies that were nominated, and were in the Top 50.  To us, that is a HUGE honor, however, we weren’t ranked in the Top 10. We were thrilled to be in the running with other KC business’ like Children’s Mercy Hospital, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and BB’s Lawnside Grill.

We had a great time celebrating with local companies! Congratulations to everyone at Highland Outdoor!

Here was the criteria from the KCB / KC Magazine Website:

For the second year, the Top 50 Companies in Kansas City will be selected out of hundreds of submissions to KCB Magazine.  These businesses will be chosen based upon the following criteria:  contribution to Kansas City lifestyle, innovation, work culture, commitment to diversity, customer service, approach to challenges, community service, growth (projected and actual), and plans for expansion outside of Kansas City to a national or international level.

From this list, KCB will choose the 10 Best Companies in Kansas City, which will be revealed at a cocktail reception honoring all 50 Companies who made the list. The 10 Best Companies that are selected by independent judges will be profiled in the August and September issues of KC Magazine, and profiled in the June of KCB Magazine.
