Call for Nominations – 2009 Montana State University College of Business State Farm Insurance Family Business Awards.

It is once again time to solicit nominations for the 2009 MSU College of Business State Farm Insurance Family Business Awards. If you have provided us with nominations in the past, I hope it was a pleasant experience for you. Most businesses are honored to be nominated by their peers because it is a sign of admiration and respect. This is an opportunity for individuals, businesses, committees, and other groups to give recognition to those family owned businesses with which they have had positive experiences. Awards will be given at the 2008 Family Business Day event on September 26 at the Holiday Inn in Bozeman.

Last year we had over 50 nominations and conferred seven awards in a variety of categories. This year we are hoping for even more nominations and completed applications. You have until May 18, 2009 to get your nomination to us, so please consider nominating one or more family businesses you would like to see honored at the state and possibly national level. These businesses contribute so much to the economy of our state as well as making significant time and financial contributions to their communities that we should recognize them.

The only real disappointment in this whole process is the number of really great businesses who are nominated and never submit completed applications. If you do nominate a business, we would appreciate any help you could provide in getting “your” business to submit an application before July 6, 2009. Many business owners wait until the last minute to start working on the application and then find it overwhelming to do in a short period of time. Maybe a little nudge from you would get them to start and complete the application.

Thank you very much for your participation in the Family Business Program at Montana State University.
