(Courtesy of OJCC) Announced just days ago from the Red Room of the White House in our nation’s capital, the 2020 Orthodox Chamber of Commerce Business Awards will be recognizing local, national and international businesses from more than seven categories of industry: standout business leaders and/or innovators, positively impacting both their own organizations as well as the communities they serve.
The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce works at the federal level directly with the White House and the Small Business Administration (SBA), as well as the Departments of Labor and Commerce in Washington. The Chamber also maintains active strategic partnerships with local and state agencies, including offices of the governors alongside the Economic Opportunity Commissions. This year’s awards will recognize multiple government leaders who work tirelessly for the benefit of businesses across the country.
Today, in times of economic uncertainty for many, the Chamber, its members and partner organizations are more determined than ever to provide economic opportunities and support to those communities, families and individuals in need across the U.S. and beyond.
From introducing legislation empowering business of multiple sizes to influencing policy at all levels of government, the Chamber has also introduced a first-of-its kind “Economic Development Day.” From addressing the constituency of the Knesset and influencing policy in Israel to its successful involvement in the recent 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on protection of religious freedom in the workplace, the Chamber is always front and center advocating for businesses around the world, as consistently recognized by the current and previous U.S. presidents and their administrations.
The nominees of the awards will be recognized as business leaders for their accomplishments, thereby opening new doors for business and strengthening their corporate brand and reputation. Previous honorees include the prestigious King David Hotel in Jerusalem, among other notable companies and executives. Deserving leaders and companies from industries including tech, retail, real estate and healthcare can be nominated via the Business Awards’ online form at www.ojchamber.com.
The awards will be held in late February 2021 with a multimedia mix of in-person presentations and online participation from attendees around the globe. The master of ceremonies for the event will be renowned entertainment advisor, businessman and media host Antony (Chanan) Gordon (www.theantonygordonshow.com), along with a host of prominent judges from Wall Street, academia and philanthropy.
