(Community Matters) I’m looking forward to tonight’s EOY awards at the Hilton. I’m joining our friends from Austin Ventures as their guest. It’s been fun serving as a social entrepreneur judge this year as well as on the EOY advisory board.
This year’s finalists: Hemi Thaker (Anue Systems, Inc), Gabriel Krajicek (BancVue), Don Shafer (BancVue), Glenn Garland (CLEAResult), Allen Lassiter Gilmer (Drilling Info Inc), Christopher Lavigne (LDR Spine), Hossein Hagigholam (Mamacita’s Restaurant & Cantinc Inc), Phil Miner (Miner Holding Company), Mark McLain & Kevin Cunningham (SailPoint). Social finalists: Lisa Fielder (College Forward), Frank Fernandez (Green Doors), Joyce McDonald (Frameworks Comm Develop) & Suzanne Santos (Sustainable Food Center). The winner of the social entrepreneur award receives a $100,000 grant for their nonprofit – thanks to the Silverton Foundation. Also, we’re presenting an honorary award to one of our dearest friends tonight; I think it’s a secret until announced.
