TIS Recognized in Dallas 100 5th Consecutive
Year
Dallas, TX, November
5, 2009 - In its 19th year, the Dallas
100™ Awards, presented by the SMU Cox Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship, recognized
the fastest growing, privately held companies in the Dallas area. Despite the recession,
the success of these companies indicates the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and
well in North Texas, as these winning companies combined to generate sales of $8.4
billion in the past three years, grew average sales from 2006 to 2008 by 176 percent,
and grew number of employees from 14,764 in 2006 to 26,142 in 2008. Sales
for the top 10 winners combined represent a 480 percent increase in 2008 over sales
in 2006.
"Texas Institute for Surgery is honored to be recognized
by the Dallas 100 for the 5th year in a row. In these times of
economic hardship, it is a testament to the compassion and quality of surgical services
we provide for our patients that allows us to continue to grow," said TIS president
Debbie Hay, RN, BSN, CASC.
The top companies were recognized at an awards ceremony
at the Meyerson Symphony Center November 4, with keynote speaker Sam Wyly, entrepreneur,
author and founder of Green Mountain Energy. Lisa Bormaster, publisher of
the Dallas Business Journal, and
Kevin Knox, assistant dean of external relations, SMU Cox School of Business, served
as emcees for the event.
"In some ways the Dallas 100 winning
companies seem to defy gravity. In a 10% unemployment national environment
they created more than 11,000 new jobs over the last two years,” said Jerry White,
director of the Caruth Institute. “These companies prove that with innovative
ideas and top quality management dynamic, fast growth businesses can be built even
in challenging environments."
In order to qualify for the Dallas 100™,
a company must be an independent, privately held corporation, proprietorship or
partnership (not a subsidiary of a parent company) as of May 1, 2008; be headquartered
in the Dallas area; have had sales of more than $500,000 in fiscal 2006; have had
sales of not more than $75,000,000 in 2006; have a three-year sales history reflecting
growth; and, have a credit report and character satisfactory to the Dallas 100™,
determined at the sole discretion of the Dallas 100™.
