CDG is Named North Dallas Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year

CDG, a premier national consulting firm specializing in the implementation and maintenance of human resources, payroll, and benefits information systems, added another prestigious award to its trophy case when the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce (NDCC) named it Small Business of the Year for 2001.

The Small Business of the Year award is given each year to a small or medium-size business with no more than 300 employees. It is presented to a local business that offers high-quality products or services, demonstrates strong ethical standards, exhibits leadership with their employees and clients and within its industry and is active in the community.

"I am honored that CDG was chosen as NDCC Small Business of the Year," said Cynthia Driskill, CDG President and CEO. "I am especially proud to win this award because of its emphasis on strong ethical standards. CDG's Ethics Policy is the foundation on which the company is built. We are defined by the integrity of our employees, and we always do what is right. Our employees are the reason we have evolved into such a terrific place to work. Our one-of-a-kind culture is a by-product of the tremendous individuals that comprise CDG," Driskill said.

The NDCC will honor CDG at the Small Business of the Year Luncheon on September 12th at the Crown Plaza Hotel. KRLD's Business Analyst David Johnson will be the guest speaker.
