Ninety executives and companies have been nominated for seven of the Enterprise company level awards in WTW’s annual “Full Steam Ahead Awards.”

Voting ends March 31.

Have you made your choices?

Before getting to the list, a reminder: The Full Steam Ahead Awards celebration is set for Tuesday, April 26, at Motorco in Durham.

We couldn’t think of a better time and place to raise a glass to our industry than a Tuesday evening over a pint of local brew. We hope to see you there and encourage you to bring as many friends and colleagues as you would like.

We’ll start at 5:30 p.m. with the opportunity to network. Our awards program will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will wrap up by 7:30 p.m.

By the way, the first 100 attendees to RSVP will receive a ticket when they arrive for a free pint of the Fullsteam Brewery beer. But, unfortunately, those are already gone.
