MMAC/COSBE began the Future 50 program in 1980 to recognize the outstanding achievements of local, fast-growing entrepreneurs.

Milwaukee's Future 50 Program recognizes privately-owned companies in the seven county region that have been in business for at least three years and have shown significant revenue and employment growth.

The companies are honored at the annual Future 50 Luncheon, are highlighted in the MMAC's Membership Directory and are often featured in news articles published by the local media.

Here's what you'll receive if your company's performance puts you on the Future 50 list:

• Free newspaper and on-line publicity and a profile in BizTimes Milwaukee special Future 50 section
• Use of the Future 50 logo for your marketing efforts
• The spotlight at the September Awards Luncheon
• The chance to be one of the Fastest Five (announced at the luncheon)
• A wall plaque to share success with employees and customers every day
• One award on the way to earning the Master Mettle award - given to three-time winners
