The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the United States are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
"Being named company of the year is a huge deal for us," said Janine Popick, CEO/founder of VerticalResponse. "It validates the great work we do for our customers and recognizes the amazing teamwork that happens every day here at VerticalResponse. This is particularly true during the past year, when we all rallied together toward the biggest product launch in our history."
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for "crowned," the trophies were presented to winners during a gala banquet on June 13 at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park Hotel. More than 400 nominees and their guests attended.
In all, more than 3,300 nominations were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 240 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process this year.
"It's an honor for us to recognize and celebrate such an outstanding class of organizations and individuals," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "The judges were especially discerning this year. All of this year's Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners should be proud that the judges recognized their achievements and their ability to express those achievements in a way that captured the judges' hearts and imaginations."
