Entrepreneurship Award!

We work day in and day out to shed positive light on all the people and places in our region who are doing amazing things. But every once in a while it feels good to toot our own horn and we have cause to celebrate here at Bangor Metro world headquarters!

It has just been announced that Mark Wellman and Tori Britton of Webster Atlantic Corporation (the umbrella under which Bangor Metro, Real Maine Weddings, and the forthcoming Maine Ahead magazines fall) have been selected to receive the Entrepreneurship Award from the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce. Toot toot!




Here is what the write-up says in the November 2009 edition of Chamber News:

[This award] recognizes an individual or business whose innovation and creativity have succeeded in opening new economic opportunities for our region. Mark Wellman and Tori Britton operate the Webster Atlantic Corporation which publishes Bangor Metro, Real Maine Weddings, and Maine Ahead. All of these publications serve to increase the region's visibility.

We are all honored and humbled by this recognition...especially considering the company we're keeping! Other award winners are...
