Illinois has some of the finest business education professionals in the nation. These professionals have made contributions to business education and should be nominated for awards recognizing their contributions. Please consider nominating those IBEA members who have contributed so much to business education and their students.
- Information will be gathered and forms may be completed by the nominator, or the nominee. An exception to this is the Professional Recognition Award which can be self-nominated.
- All information will be sent electronically via email to Awards Chair. Hardcopy of forms are no longer required or needed.
- Attendance at the fall conference by the recipient of any award is strongly encouraged.
- Credentials of candidates not receiving a current year award shall be retained for consideration for the following year. Nominees must continue to meet eligibility criteria.
