Cincinnati, OH—October 20th -“Too often the news is about the scandals or problems with businesses and nonprofits,” BBB President Jocile Ehrlich said. “Our Torch Awards not only recognize good organizations, but lets our community know that good organizations that are committed to doing the right thing are the norm.” She added that our community has much to be proud of.
At a gala evening at Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center, the Better Business Bureau celebrated the recipients and honorees of the BBB’s 2010 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics.
The Torch Award recipients and honorees were selected by a distinguished panel of independent judges that included: Liz Carter- Executive Director, Society of St. Vincent de Paul; Tim Meyer- President, Meyer Capital Management; Dan Neyer- President, Neyer properties, Inc and Michael Moser- Vice President & COO, Western & Southern Financial Group.
