Does a "business awards" thing seem like a crock to anyone else?
Sounds like it is nothing more than wasting time on an application about how great you are and waste time & money going to a presentation all for what? To make yourself feel all warm and fuzzy? You probably just get a certificate/plaque and nothing else, and to know the only reason you got anything was because no-one else applied anyway.
Anyone got any suggestions on where time/money/effort could be better spent for a small GA operator?
