The Alexandria regional community is home to a large
number of highly successful companies that form the bedrock for our successful
economic engine. Each year, the
accomplishments of these organizations are recognized in late October during
the Business & Industrial Appreciation Day and Manufacturers & Support
Industries Breakfast events.
The Business & Industrial Appreciation Day (BIAD) event
recognizes the growth, success and community contributions of
one Alexandria area business or organization each year. This event is a shared effort of the
Alexandria Area Economic Development Commission and Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and has recognized a total of 29 organizations since
1984. The 2012 BIAD award recipient is
Douglas Scientific - an Alexandria bio-tech company that has grown out of
Alexandria's Douglas Machine and formally began operations in 2009. This year's BIAD luncheon honoring Douglas
Scientific will take place on Tuesday, October 23rd and will be attended by
nearly 500 individuals and company/community leaders from throughout the region and the state
of Minnesota.
October's second business recognition event is the Douglas County Manufacturers & Support Industries Breakfast -
recognizing the economic strength and contributions of the manufacturing and
support industry companies throughout Douglas County. This event is a time for recognition and
appreciation to our local companies and features a breakfast, networking
opportunity, and keynote presentation (this year provided by Dr. Chris Kuehl of
Armada Corporate Intelligence). Over 175
company and community leaders will be participating in this year's event
(Thursday, October 25th).
