NOMINATE

Nomination Procedures

Nominations for the Business Ethics Award must be submitted on this form by the deadline. A company may be nominated by an employee, a customer, client, consultant, vendor, or any individual who is impressed with the company’s ethics program or demonstration of the same. Nominated companies will be notified by letter which includes an invitation to an Orientation Meeting.
Note: Non-profit organizations are not eligible for nomination. Not-for-profit organizations are eligible to participate, as are financial service companies if this service makes up no more than 25% of that business’s total revenues. Please ensure the entity’s eligibility when nominating and/or applying. Any eligibility questions that might arise related to this policy will be subject to the BEA Board’s review and the resulting decision will be final. 

Application Process

This nomination begins a process whereby, with guidance and clear guidelines, the nominated company will be asked to prepare an application for submission. By means of an evaluation, three finalists from each of three business size groups will be selected. A Judging Panel of business and community leaders will select one Business Ethics Award honoree from each of the groups.
