MHEDA Is Helping Your Company Stand Out

Earning an industry award is one of the most effective ways to rise above the competition! It gives your company 3rd party credentialing that shows your customers, employees and suppliers that you operate with outstanding business practices.


MHEDA offers two award programs: the MVP Award for dealers and integrators and the MVS Award for supplier and associate members. Both awards require companies to complete an application that covers key areas of business excellence, letters of recommendation, a company Give Back effort and documentation of involvement in continuing education.


The 2024 Award applications are now available on the MHEDA website at: www.mheda.org/awards and the application deadline is 1/31/24. Awards are announced to the membership as they are awarded, and through industry press in early 2024. This is an annual recognition program exclusively for MHEDA
Members.

 

To see the list of 2023 Award winners, visit 2023 Awards. For questions on the Awards or the application, please contact Kathy Cotter at kcotter@mheda.org.
