The Better Business Bureau is accepting nominations for the 2012 Torch Awards that recognize businesses that go above and beyond in their commitment to ethics.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the BBB internationally and the 50th anniversary of the organization locally.
"The 2012 Torch Awards will be an awards celebration unlike any other," BBB executive director Rosalind Scott said. "Not only will we be honoring businesses that have gone above and beyond in their commitment to customer service excellence and trust, but we will also be celebrating the historical accomplishments of the BBB and the community that has supported us."
Any business can be nominated, whether accredited or not. Nominees can fill out a form and share their experience with a trustworthy business.
"If you know of a business that is dedicated to serving the public, a business that takes that little bit of extra time to show they care — they deserve to be recognized," Scott said.
Download nomination forms at vi.bbb.org. Send by fax (250-386-2367) or email (wendy@vi.bbb.org). Nomination deadline is March 16.
Nominations require contact information of the business and nominee, and a brief explanation of why you think the business deserves an award.
Winners will be announced at an anniversary celebration May 25.
