Allentown, PA: Netizen Corporation, a leading Pennsylvania-based provider of software assurance, data management, and cyber security solutions for government and commercial markets, was named Business of the Year in the Emerging Business category by Lehigh Valley Business, the region’s premier business news publication.  The Business of the Year awards program celebrates the greater Lehigh Valley’s most dynamic businesses. An Emerging Business is defined as a company that is five years old or less, with no set limitations on the number of employees or total revenue.

“It is a great honor to have been selected as Business of the Year in a highly competitive category replete with reputable organizations from across the region. This award serves to validate that our mission, message and approach to providing security-ingrained software, data and cyber solutions resonates across the marketplace as well as within our own community,” said Michael Hawkins, Netizen’s President and CEO.

Max Harris, Netizen’s Chief of Business Development, added, “we at Netizen are extremely grateful for the contributions of our dedicated employee team members and like-minded partner companies not only locally but across the country. So much of this would not be possible without their hard work and support.”

Criteria for the Business of the Year award include an evaluation of company and professional growth, community involvement, future potential, and other factors. Finalists and awardees were selected by an independent panel of judges from across the region with varying executive management and entrepreneurial backgrounds.

The Business of the Year award finalists were recognized and the winner in each category was announced during a formal awards dinner on December 8, 2015 at the ArtsQuest center at SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA.
