Janet Kuester, a CenterPoint client and owner of The Music Connection in Orland Park & Frankfort, is a 2012 recipient of The Daily Herald Business Ledger Annual Award for Business Excellence.

Kuester is receiving the award in the small business category. She will receive the award at the newspaper’s annual recognition event in March.

“I would like to thank CenterPoint at Governors State University for its advice, counsel, and encouragement over the last four years,” Kuester said. “Working with CenterPoint has been an exciting opportunity that I encourage all beginning and growing businesses to experience.”

The Daily Herald Business Ledger honors companies that have shown a consistent record of financial success, an emphasis on workplace quality, innovation in its processes or procedures, support of the business community, and support of the community at large through charitable or volunteer efforts, mentoring or internship programs.

Other CenterPoint clients honored over the past few years for business excellence have been UBuildit, of Mokena; Phoenix Business Solutions of Alsip; The Prairie Godmother of Flossmoor; and Behold Signs and Graphics of Midlothian. The Music Connection was previously recognized for entrepreneurial excellence.
