This award is the latest in a wonderful run of recognition for the company. In 2012 Karri was chosen as a finalist for Ernst and Young’s National Entrepreneurial Winning Women program and Illumination was awarded Woman-Owned Business of the Year Runner Up in Cincinnati.
In March of 2013, Illumination Research was recognized locally when the Cincinnati Chamber selected it as a finalist for the city’s Small Business of the Year awards. Winners will be announced at the annual Small Business Excellence Awards luncheon in May. (http://www.cincinnatichamber.com/sbea)
