COMMSOFT TAKES HOME ALBANY-COLONIE CHAMBER HONORS
Robin Wood
When Larry Davis, president, CEO and chairman of Albany-based
CommSoft hadn't heard from the Albany-Colonie Regional
Chamber of Commerce before Thursday's annual business awards dinner, he
figured the company
hadn't won an award and he didn't write an acceptance speech.
Like many a surprised actor, he gave a speech off the top
of his head when CommSoft—which makes billing software for the telecommunications
industry—was awarded the Barry L. Gold Memorial Small Business of
the Year Award.
The chamber kept most of the award winners under
wraps so that they could be announced Academy Awards-style to an audience
of more than 300 at the dinner.
David Allen Snyder Sr., chief
executive officer of Troy-based
Walter Snyder Printer Inc., was presented with the chamber's
Lifetime Achievement Award. VersaTrans Solutions Inc. of Latham, which provides software
and consulting for schools, won the Tech Valley Tomorrow
Award, recognizing the region's high-tech businesses.
Latham-based salon Rumors Ltd. won the Entrepreneurial Excellence
Award.
Jeanne A. Benas Art Studio of Latham won the Micro-enterprise
Award, recognizing companies with fewer than four employees.
Capital Communications Federal Credit Union of Albany took home
the Community Service Award.
And Mohawk Innovative Technology Inc. of Albany, N.Y.,
which develops oil-free engines and machines, won the Innovative
Enterprise Award.
“This year's honorees are superior examples of excellence
in the small-business community. They have demonstrated perseverance, leadership,
significant growth and service to their communities,” said Alan Rosenberg,
chair of the Small Business Council, in a release.
