Excellence in Business Awards Nominations

Since 1987, the Greater Phoenix Chamber has celebrated the achievements of businesses across the Greater Phoenix region through our renowned awards programs. This year, we are thrilled to launch the Excellence in Business Awards to spotlight the best in business in the Valley.

The Excellence in Business Awards (formerly the IMPACT Awards), recognize small, mid-sized, and large private companies, as well as publicly held companies and 501(c)3 nonprofits that are making significant contributions to our state. Nominated companies demonstrate excellence in three key pillars:

  • Economic Growth & Business Leadership
  • Community Impact & Social Responsibility
  • Workplace & Cultural Excellence

Overview of Awards

The Greater Phoenix region is known for its thriving business community. Businesses innovate, advocate, and give back to the local community to drive our economy.

The Excellence in Business Awards recognizes companies that are making significant contributions to our state. The program highlights employers who excel in the three pillars of excellence.

Business sectors are defined as follows:  

  • Small business: 1-99 employees, privately held organization
  • Mid-size business: 100-499 employees, privately held organization
  • Large business: 500+ employees, privately held organization
  • Publicly held organization
  • Nonprofit organization

A privately held organization is owned & operated by individuals or corporations and is not traded on a public stock exchange.

A publicly held organization is one whose ownership is distributed among general public shareholders through the trading of its shares on stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets.

A nonprofit organization is one that holds a 501(c)3 status. Nonprofits may choose to apply in the nonprofit category, or the appropriate business size category.
