MAPLE GROVE, Minn., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Ken Dalley, Chairman, founder, and Chief Warrior of GUARDIAN RFID was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year^® 2021 Heartland Award finalist. Now in its 35th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program honors unstoppable business leaders whose ambition, ingenuity and courage in the face of adversity help catapult us from the now to next and beyond.

Ken Dalley was selected by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced during a special virtual celebration on Tuesday, July 27, 2021, becoming lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world.

Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria: entrepreneurial leadership; talent management; degree of difficulty; financial performance; societal impact and building a values-based company; and originality, innovation and future plans. Since its launch, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world. 

"It's an honor to be in the company of such accomplished entrepreneurs and leaders. This recognition is credit to our team's collective efforts to consistently deliver on our core values, as we continue working to protect the 480,000 correctional officers who serve in our nation's jails and prisons," said Dalley.

Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, to be announced in November 2021 at the Strategic Growth Forum^®, one of the nation's most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2022.
