People Powered: Preparing Longmont Businesses for Economic Success

Longmont Chamber and FNBO present People Powered on April 24, 2024, aiming to inform business owners about workforce development, housing, and transportation issues.

Nomination entries were prepared by business students from the University of Wyoming, Colorado State University and the University of Northern Colorado. The program was put in place to recognize businesses for their ethical practices in the workplace, as well as to provide students an opportunity to learn different business models.

The award has been bestowed to more than 80 businesses since the program’s inception in 1999 by the BBB Center for Character Ethics, a program of the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust.

Three businesses were presented with the award in 2013: GF Harvest, a gluten free oats company from Powell, Wyo.; Basic Beginnings from Laramie, Wyo.; and Jorgensen Laboratories Inc., out of Loveland, Colo.
