About The Maine Family Business Awards

Each year since 2000, the Institute for Family-Owned Business recognizes family-owned, Maine-based businesses through its Maine Family Business Awards in partnership with MEMIC. This gala attracts family businesses, large and small, for a celebration that pays more than just recognition. It serves as a vehicle for networking and opening up all shades of possibilities for families seeking to grow their businesses. Since its inception, we have identified 113 companies for various categories of excellence.
