The Tempe Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards honor one small business and one large business that serve as a positive role model to others and are active in the Tempe community. This year’s winners were announced on June 29th at the 2018 Tempe Chamber Annual Luncheon.
The Chamber awarded MAC6 as the Small Business of the Year. MAC6 provides a collaborative space and culture-focused leadership programs that push conscious leaders to conquer the complexities and scale their business. The company invests in people instead of ideas and exists to build better communities where people and businesses thrive.
MAC6 explores the impact of capitalism on poverty and volunteers with a local company that works in Mozambique. It supports many local organizations by allowing them to use its space on a non-paid basis as a community gathering place. Its general philosophy is that the community is one of its most important stakeholders and it exists to serve them.
The Chamber announced Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, PLLC as the Large Business of the Year. This full-service law firm offers legal support for divorces, bankruptcy, tax settlement, forming a business or even complex mergers and acquisitions. Its focus is to ensure that any person or organization it interacts with is better because of it.
Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, PLLC sponsors service activities such as Shear Beauty (a fundraiser for the prevention of breast cancer) and participates in community service projects with St. Vincent De Paul, Feed My Starving Children and others. It also partners with the ASU Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law to host ASU’s Moot Court Competition.
