CHICAGO, April 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National Society of Hispanic MBAs
Each year the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) seeks nominations for those outstanding individuals, businesses, non-profits, educational institutions, and companies whose endeavors coincide with the NSHMBA mission and directly benefit the advancement and recognition of Hispanics and the Hispanic communities across the nation.
Their efforts are lauded with The Brillante Award for Excellence, the most prestigious honor given by NSHMBA and presented to the recipients during the organization's Annual Conference & Career Expo being held this year in Chicago, October 21–23.
Nominations open April 7–May 17 and participants of this year's process will see a few changes to the 2010 categories. The Educational Excellence category has been modified to now include educators, universities and non-profit categories. Additionally, the focus of Educational Excellence has changed and it is now recognizing an individual, university or non-profit organization's program that successfully advances Hispanic education, career and leadership opportunities. The Non-Profit Excellence category from past years has been integrated into the new Educational Excellence category.
New for this year is Lifetime Achievement Excellence category. This category recognizes those who have achieved business excellence in their field and who have made significant contributions to NSHMBA's mission.
A total of six categories will be awarded this year: Corporate Excellence, Corporate Executive Excellence, Member Service Excellence, Entrepreneurial Excellence, Educational Excellence and Lifetime Achievement Excellence.
"The selfless dedication and benevolence shown by the award recipients are to be admired, and examples by which we should all set our standards and aspirations," said Steve Ramos, NSHMBA Interim CEO. "They are true role models to our nation and an inspiration to Hispanic communities, and the Brillante Award for Excellence is just a small recognition for the great, great work they do."
The National Society of Hispanic MBAs established the Brillante for Excellence Awards in 1989, and is given to bright, radiant, and shining leaders who illuminate the paths for many ambitious MBAs, while radiating positive energy to encourage and motivate others. In addition to the gala, winners receive a custom designed award, a seal to post on their website, as well as recognition on the NSHMBA website, its monthly newsletter The Bottom Line, the organization's official magazine Hispanic MBA, and within national press releases.
