Each year we recognize a Manhattan business for its lifetime of success and contributions. We call this award the Cornerstone Award and it is the one award in which there aren’t finalists and we announce ahead of the event.
I am thrilled to announce today that the 2023 Cornerstone Award winner is KS StateBank.
KS StateBank has been an important part of the community for over 50 years. They have been at the center of numerous business ventures and community projects and I am thrilled that we will have the opportunity to recognize the bank and the Howe Family for a lifetime of achievement and contribution.
Please join us at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 12 at the Manhattan Conference Center as we recognize KS StateBank along with 15 other businesses that have been named finalists for five awards. Please buy your ticket by tomorrow to guarantee a seat. You can register here.
