Award Criteria
Award criteria are based on these three principles:
- Character
- Leaders must be teachable and open to growing with ideas. Leaders habitually seek the truth, are open to criticism, and know that their own personal development is never complete.
- Culture
- Purposeful entrepreneurs start businesses for more than just the opportunity to be their own boss or fill a gap in the market. Instead, they create organizations committed to serving the needs of all their stakeholders and make intentional decisions about who they align with to bring their mission to fruition.
- Community
- The most successful entrepreneurs understand they are part of a community and commit to supporting those that supported them. They give back to worthy causes and treat other entrepreneurs and competitors as peers rather than opponents.
Eligibility Criteria
Businesses must be in operation for at least 6 months but not more than 3 years at the time of application. Firms need not be BBB Accredited but must be in good standing with BBB.
A company is not eligible if any of the following conditions apply:
- They have earned less than a “B” rating from BBB
- There are indications they have not met their financial obligations
- They are a government agency.
