About The Excellence in Entrepreneurship Awards Program

The Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award is designed to recognize individuals who exemplify the American entrepreneurial spirit – who, by their creativity and determination, have established and nurtured successful business ventures. Entrepreneurs are a powerful economic force, especially in a down market. More than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, pointing to the fact that new firms generate jobs and promote growth in the economy.
