WASHINGTON — HARDI presented its Small Business Champion Award to Rep. Cory Gardner. The award, given to elected officials who promote and protect the interests of small businesses, was presented to congressman Gardner during the HARDI 2014 Congressional Fly-In in Washington, by Royce Henderson, HARDI president and a Colorado Springs resident.
Henderson, who is also president of Charles D. Jones Co., stated that HARDI selected Gardner for the award due to his bipartisan efforts to promote energy efficiency, his work to limit the affect of regulations on small businesses, and his efforts to fix the health care system.
