BPOY Award

Nominations for Business Person of the Year 2012 are CLOSED.

Nominations closed on October 1. Look for the winner in the January 2012 issue. Don’t forget to nominate next year!

 

How the winners are selected

Connect Business Magazine will learn more about the nominees, and forward the information on to our judges, who are Minnesota State University business professors. Each judge will have up to three votes: five points will be awarded for their first choice, three for second, and one for third. The top vote-getter will appear on our January 2012 cover, and the two runners-up will appear inside the magazine. Judges will take into consideration the person’s character, leadership abilities, community involvement, and business results. Business persons from any business — large or small, profit or nonprofit, large town or small — are eligible.
