Be a 2012 Business Builder

Are you looking for a way to establish yourself or your business as a community leader? Apply for a Business Builder Award!

Benefits of applying include increased marketing and awareness for your business, the opportunity to differentiate your company as an industry leader, increased morale among staff and potential for increased business.

Below you will find the links to the nine Business Builders Categories that are open to the NSBA membership. Please look through and select the categories that resonate with you and your business. You can apply in a maximum of two categories.

Included in these categories is our Business Builder Award, which is determined by a membership vote. This is one of four categories that are determined by vote, but the only one where voting is open during the application process. Members vote for our Young Promising Entrepreneur Award the night of the Awards banquet, while our Board of Directors vote on the Member of the Year and Shirley Ryan Lifetime Achievement Awards.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office. Deadline for applications is February 10, 2012.
