BBB Spark Awards for Entrepreneurship

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion, awards ceremony, and complimentary food, beer, and wine!

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Spark Awards for Entrepreneurship honors remarkable entrepreneurs and up-and-coming businesses in our community. This is BBB’s chance to spotlight the next generation of community leaders and deliver on our mission to celebrate marketplace role models.

Honorees of this program are businesses that have been operating for three years or less, or businesses with owners aged 35 or younger. Winners of the Spark Awards will have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to trust, integrity, and three main operational criteria: leadership character, workplace culture, and community support.

We are excited for you to join us for a panel discussion with BBB Executive Leadership, past Spark Awards winners, program judges, and the 2022 DSW Pitch Competition winner, to explore the importance of integrity and community advocacy in business. The panel discussion will be followed by the presentation of the 2023 Spark Awards winner. You don't want to miss the announcement of who will win one of BBB's most prestigious honors!

Emcee/Moderator: Dale Dixon, Chief Innovation Officer, Better Business Bureau
