The yearly golf outing may have seen a decline in attendance from last year’s, but industry participation came from as far west as California and as south as Virginia, with members from the Chosen Payments team and Glenn Stafford of Love Limousine among those who traveled to New England to be a part of the fundraising tradition. Along with a committee of volunteers, a number of sponsors also contributed to the tournament, including Chosen Payments, Lancer Insurance, and Mercedes-Benz of Shrewsbury.
Bearing the name of a NELA founding member, the annual event also honors one of Colorarullo’s sons by donating a portion of the day’s funds to CHIPS House, the facility where he has been residing since a motorcycle accident left him with a brain injury. While proceeds from the tournament also benefit NELA itself, the association decided that One Mission, a foundation that assists families of pediatric cancer patients, would be among the day’s beneficiaries, too.
While not all of the big-ticket prizes were snapped up this year, Ricky Bates of Dav El/BostonCoach boasted the day’s longest drive and one of Able Limousine’s three foursomes emerged from this year’s tournament with the best score.
Next up for NELA is its fall quarterly meeting, which will be held September 9.

While the majority of our event takes place at our exquisite host property, the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, there is plenty going on during show floor hours Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Miami Beach Convention Center. It’s located just minutes from the hotel—hop on one of our provided shuttles or stretch your legs a bit for a quick 10-minute walk.
Our micro-sessions are a returning favorite. While our workshops back at the Loews are lengthier and more comprehensive, our micro-sessions are quick bursts of knowledge that are meant to be easy to digest, but always interesting and impactful. Choose from topics like “Effectively Dealing with Bad Online Reviews" and "Controlling Fuel Theft.” View the full schedule at chauffeurdrivenshow.com/cd-show-info/micro-sessions.html. The micro-sessions, sponsored by Reston Limousine, will be 15-20 minutes each, and all will be held on Monday and Tuesday.
But it’s not over! For the first time this year, we will hold bonus education right on the show floor on Wednesday. Reflecting the current fleet diversity that has drastically changed our industry, we’ve created two sessions that will address many of your most pressing bus and motorcoach issues. These sessions—“Fleet Diversification: What to Buy and When to Buy It” and “Are You Ready for a DOT Audit?”—will be lively, interactive discussions that will offer immediate ROI and stimulate your entrepreneurial drive.
Don’t forget that we’re also offering lunch (sponsored by Titus Leasing and Turtle Top) on Tuesday and brunch on Wednesday on the show floor. You’ll need some fuel to visit the more than 100 vendors displaying their products and services on our 120,000-square-foot show floor and to take in all of our bonus education!
Overall, our entire educational program has more than 15 hours of education and 13 topics to choose from. Topics include fleet diversification, wage and hour laws, performance management, company culture, growing your business, TNCs, and more. Our speakers are all experts both within and beyond our industry who will engage and motivate you. All of our workshops are interactive, so be sure to come with questions. View the full schedule of sessions at chauffeurdrivenshow.com/cd-show-info/workshop-seminar-schedule.html.

“Receiving notification that we were selected for this list for the second year in a row is extremely gratifying,” said CEO Douglas Rydbom. “Everyone works hard and takes pride in contributing to our growth. It’s great to talk internally about or success, but submitting our revenue reports and letting the numbers talk for themselves is very rewarding.”
In order to be eligible for consideration, companies were required to show revenue of at least $500,000 in each of the fiscal years ending 2012, 2013, and 2014, as well as revenue growth in 2014, as compared to 2012. For-profit entities that are headquartered in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry or York County were eligible for nomination.
The presenting sponsor of the program, SF & Company, calculated the nominations and then ranked the companies according to revenue growth over the three-year period. Both dollar and percentage increases were taken into consideration. This ranking formula led to the list of winners.
Premiere #1 Limousine Service and the other 49 winners will be honored at an awards breakfast on October 23, when their ranks will be revealed. A complete, ranked list of honorees and profiles of each company and their financial growth will be published in a special supplement to the October 30 issue of the Central Penn Business Journal.
