Welcome to The 2016 (14th Annual) American Business Awards, the leading business awards program in the U.S.A. More than 3,400 nominations from organizations of all types and sizes acrossthe country were reviewed by the judges this year. More than 250 professionals participated in thejudging process, and all judges are acknowledged in this program.
We changed the format of the ABA presentations this year. In the past we announced the finalistsabout a month before the awards banquet, and didn’t reveal the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie®
placements until the gala. At the event, only Gold Stevie winners were called to the stage to accept their awards and make a speech. This year we decided to pre-announce the Stevie winners,and to invite all Stevie-winning organizations that attend the gala to come to the stage to accepttheir awards. While tonight’s event won’t hold as much suspense as past ABA presentations, we think the new format will be more enjoyable for all Stevie winners.
We’re staging a silent auction tonight to benefit CARE. CARE fights poverty for all by focusing ongirls and women with programs that bring lasting change to whole communities. Please visit thesilent auction tables outside the ballroom and bid on one or more items tonight.
The American Business Awards is just one of a number of Stevie Awards programs, all of whichrecognize achievements in the workplace. Our other programs include The International BusinessAwards, the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the German Stevie Awards, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business, and Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, and the new Stevie Awardsfor Great Employers. We invite you to learn about them all at www.StevieAwards.com.
