Help recognize exemplary business

Get the new year started out the right way by recognizing an organization that is doing stellar work in the community. Nominate a local business or nonprofit for one of the BBB’s Eclipse Integrity Awards. When you think of the organizations you do business with or support, there are likely many that come to mind that have made you a raving fan and you recommend to your friends and family. You could even nominate your own.

The public is invited to nominate organizations by visiting www.bbbeclipse. org or calling 937-610-2292. The deadline to nominate an organization other than your own is Feb. 1. The deadline for self-nominations is March 1. (If you’re self-nominating, review the nominating procedures on your BBB’s Web site, www.bbbeclipse.org, or contact your BBB for the complete nomination form.) Note: the guidelines for nonprofits have been enhanced for the 2018 competition.

Eclipse Integrity Awards will be presented to organizations for demonstrating trust and excellence in the marketplace. There are four award categories for busi- nesses based on the number of employees. BBB also has two award categories for nonprofits, which are also based on the number of employees. The winners will be selected by an inde- pendent panel of judges and honored at the Eclipse Integ- rity Awards dinner on May 8 at the David H. Ponitz Sinclair Center, 444 W. Third St., Bldg. 12, Dayton.
