The search for the 2012 recipients of the prestigious Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Trust from the BBB in Southeast Texas begins in late January.  Two for-profit businesses and one non-profit organization will be honored at the 15th annual presentation banquet on Tuesday, May 8, 2012.  Mark Sanborn – internationally know author and speaker, president of Sanborn & Associates--an idea studio for leadership in development, author of The Fred Factor, You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader and The Encore Effect – will be our keynote speaker. 

The Torch Award process is an effort of the BBB Consumer Education Foundation, Inc. -- a charitable non-profit of our regional BBB.  Thus, funding of the awards process must be secured by the Foundation.  The BBB in Southeast Texas is currently looking for five exclusive “Diamond Partners” for this prestigious award and presentation event.  Over 12,000 applications will be mailed to for-profit businesses across Southeast Texas. The name/logo of the five “Diamond Partners” will be printed in full color on the mailing, and they will be featured in all press releases, publications, the presentation banquet invitations and program, banquet video banners, web home page banners, a special upfront table for ten at the banquet, and more. 

For further information on being a “Diamond Partner” for this notable recognition and presentation, please call Debbie Bridgeman today at (409) 835-5951 x117.  These five high profile partnerships will be secured fast, so don’t delay.
