These organizations will be recognized at a ceremony on Wednesday, September 24th, at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock for their dedication to customers, community, character, and culture - "The Four C's" of ethics. The Torch Awards for Ethics represent the highest recognition the BBB bestows, honoring companies that go above and beyond. The Spark Award celebrates Arkansas entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses (operating fewer than three years at the time of application) who demonstrate exceptional character, build strong company cultures, and make meaningful contributions.
We are excited to celebrate with an impactful event featuring keynote speaker, Dr. Julien C. Mirivel - expert on positive communication - and emcee, Chris May of KATV. Tickets for the event are available now! We encourage you to learn more on our official event page, and we hope to see you at the ceremony for an afternoon of food, networking and celebration. Tickets and sponsorships are available now!
