This program is a summary of the second part of The 2015 (13th Annual) American BusinessAwards, the leading business awards program in the U.S.A. I say second part because a few yearsago we split our traditional awards banquet into two events. The first event this year took place in Chicago on Monday, June 22, and featured the announcement of the Gold, Silver and BronzeStevie® Award winners in a number of category groups.

At this second ceremony on Friday, September 11 in San Francisco, we’ll announce the Steviewinners in other categories including apps and new products and services. We’ll also announcethe winners of this year’s Grand Stevie Award trophies, and present the People’s Choice StevieAwards for Favorite New Products, whose winners we announced last month.

We thank the more than 200 professionals who participated in our two-step judging processthis year. We could not confer Stevie Awards upon worthy organizations and individuals withoutthem, and they are all acknowledged in this program.

The American Business Awards is just one of a number of Stevie Awards programs, all of whichrecognize achievements in the workplace. Our other programs include The International BusinessAwards, the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the German Stevie Awards, the Stevie Awards for Womenin Business, and the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. We invite you to learn aboutthem all at www.StevieAwards.com.
