AWARD DETAILS
Women Who Mean Business
We all know one: a powerful, determined businesswoman who, honestly, would be a little intimidating if she weren’t so damn good at her job. That’s the type of woman Biz 417 has shed the spotlight on since our first class of Women Who Mean Business in 2016. Strong candidates are women who are leading the way in their fields, running boardrooms or giving back in big ways.
The formal nomination period opens each September and includes a finalist round. Honorees are profiled in the March/April issue of the following year.
10 For the Next 10
This award series highlights 10 individuals in various industries who are under the radar, poised for growth and getting the job done well. The group represents the leaders of tomorrow. As the name suggests, we're looking for 10 people to lead 417-land into the next decade. There are no age restrictions and no industry requirements for nominees.
The formal nomination period opens each January and can include a finalist round. Selected individuals are profiled in the July/August issue.
Best Places to Work
Biz 417 Best Places to Work contest highlights outstanding local businesses that are highly successful, offer robust employee benefits and have a motivating workplace culture. The application period runs from December through March, and data from the entries is then analyzed by Best Companies Group to determine finalists.
