The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) recognized area companies and organizations as Focus on the Future Award honorees, to recognize their work to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The honorees were celebrated during a recent virtual event.
The Focus on the Future Awards were broken down into these categories:
Established New Links in the Chain – These honorees have retooled their supply chain or made new links in another supply chain to meet new market demands.
Mother (or Father) of Invention – These honorees have created a new product or service to meet rapidly changing market demands.
Fueling the Frontlines – These honorees have come to the aid of health care or other frontline workers when they needed it most.
True Colors – These honorees have maintained an employee-centric focus by managing the health and well-being of their workforce.
Pivot Not Panic – These organizations and individual honorees displayed clarity and purpose, showing exemplary leadership during the pandemic.
For each category one of the award-winners was selected as a spotlight company and two or three others were named honorees with distinction. Following are profiles of those companies, longer profiles for the spotlight companies and shorter profiles for the honorees with distinction.
