We are proud to share that Craig Ruppert, on behalf of Ruppert Landscape, was recognized with the Business Legacy of the Year award at the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce’s (MCCC) Annual Dinner on June 18, 2025.
Each year, this event brings together leaders from across the region to celebrate the people and organizations driving economic growth and building a stronger, more connected community. The Business Legacy of the Year award honors a business or individual who has demonstrated sustained excellence and made a lasting, positive impact in the Metro Maryland region through many years of active service and leadership.
Craig was honored alongside other notable recipients, including:
-
Legislator of the Year: The Honorable Nancy King, Maryland State Senate, recognized for her dedication to economic innovation and public service.
