ISELIN, N.J. — Eric Park and Tony Park, from the Money Marketing Group of Companies, are among 31 finalists in Ernst &Young New Jersey's 17th annual Entrepreneur Of The Year campaign.
Included in the Money Marketing companies are Nextran, the exclusive U.S. distributor of ATMs manufactured by South Korea's Chungho, and transaction processor Innobeta Systems.
Winners for several awards categories will be selected from the finalists and announced at a reception on June 17 in Teaneck, N.J., according to a news release.
"These are the outstanding business leaders who make New Jersey's economy vibrant," said Partner and New Jersey EOY Program Director Keith Brownlie of the firm's Iselin office.
In addition to New Jersey, awards programs are held in 43 other major U.S. markets. Finalists and winners for each region are selected by a panel of independent judges comprised of leaders from the respective local business and civic organizations. Regional winners are eligible to compete for one of several national award categories in connection with the 2004 National Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year competition later in the year.
To be eligible to receive an award, the nominee must be an owner/manager of a private or public company who is primarily responsible for the recent performance of the company (or organization) and an active member of top management.
Honorees will have demonstrated excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities, according to the release.
