The annual Outstanding Growth Award honors a local company that demonstrates sustained growth in sales, profitability, employment, and community involvement. 

The 2023 recipient of ACG Western Michigan's Outstanding Growth Award is no stranger to success. Over the last four years, National Nail's product lines have each received the highest industry recognitions and ended 2022 with revenue at a nearly 4-fold increase from 2013.

Each year, the Outstanding Growth Award winner is featured in a video presentation on the challenges faced – and strategies used – to build a track record of growth. The presentation is delivered to a sell-out crowd of approximately 400 of the area’s top executives, business owners, and financiers.

The award itself is actually two awards: a large perpetual trophy the winner gets temporarily and a smaller replica that the winner gets to keep. ACG decided to take the “Stanley Cup approach” — the winning company gets its name imprinted on the large trophy and they get to keep it for a year before turning it over to the next winner.

In 2022, ACG Western Michigan introduced a new award category, the Emerging Growth Award. The same pool of OGA nominations is used to determine the winner of this new award category for the second year.
