Entrepreneur of the Year


The E & I Club created the Entrepreneur of the Year award as a way to identify, honor, and support outstanding business and civic leaders of Northwest Illinois. Winners express vision and passion to imagine the future and become part of it. They also demonstrate the willingness to share their experiences and mentor others. The recipients are chosen by their peers, the club members.

Craig Dusing
Craig is the owner of Carroll Industrial Molds and Carroll Industrial Coatings in Milledgeville and Electric Vehicle Solutions in Sterling. He founded Carroll Molds in 1986. His latest venture, EV Solutions, sprang to life when he was converting his S-10 pickup truck to electric power. He noticed many of the components needed for the conversion were not readily available. So he began making conversion kits to sell. “Craig is a valuable part of the club, always willing to lend an ear to other members,” said John Huggins, club coordinator.
