talent in our business community and create a bridge between
this community and the rich resources of VMFA,” said
Brand.
The VMFA Business Council announced the 26 finalists, which
were selected from a nominated pool of 55 companies at last

the finalists included:

“We are extremely excited to be a finalist for this
award,” said
Evan Edwards, vice president of product development for Intelliject. “It’s
a great example of how VMFA offers a fresh perspective, which
in turn can help to stimulate creative thinking that can
be applied in the workplace.”
