Following vetting by the BBB staff, those eligible for the Torch Award for Ethics were offered the chance to participate. Those that accepted have spent the past three months working with teams of business students from Colorado State University, the University of Northern Colorado, and the University of Wyoming to prepare the award application based on BBB’s TRUST! Principles:

  • Transformation at the Top
  • Reinforce and Build
  • Unite the Team
  • Steer Performance

Award winners will be selected in January by an independent panel of judges comprised of BBB board members, past Torch Award winners and community leaders. Winning organizations will receive their awards at the 2019 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics celebration, a luncheon event set for April 18, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Embassy Suites in Loveland. This year’s presenting sponsor for the BBB Torch Awards for Ethics is First National Bank.
