Gems of Excellence serves as an opportunity to honor those who have made significant contributions that enhance the quality of life and continue to make the Mason-Deerfield region a better place to live, work, play and thrive. Named for the concept that members are “gems” in the business community — valuable, admired for excellence, and prized for their impact — this year’s celebration was themed around the amethyst, symbolizing courage, stability and intuition, all of which were exemplified by the finalists and award winners.
