The dealership group stood out in several areas, including awards for best places to work, customer service and top manufacturer honors; the development of women professionals in the organization through the Gail Miller Women’s Leadership Group; digital strategies and employee training programs; the construction of new, state-of-the-art facilities; and giving back in the community via Larry H. Miller Charities, the Give Us 5 program, and the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Golf Classic.

The Best of State winners will receive a medallion and will have a chance to win one of 10 Best of State Statues if they are determined to be the most outstanding in their division. The awards will be presented Thursday, May 17.
