To seek out and reward innovative small businesses for their smart use of technology, Dell and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) - one of America's leading advocacy organizations representing small and independent businesses in Washington, D.C. and all 50 states - founded the Dell/NFIB Small Business Excellence Award program in 2004.
Now in its fifth year in the United States and fourth year in Canada and Mexico, Dell is partnering, Endeavor, a global non-profit supporting emerging market entrepreneurs, and the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) and their affiliates including USASBE. ICSB has a mission to advance entrepreneurship through global knowledge sharing and networking, to expand the program internationally - additional countries participating in the program will be announced in early 2008.
The global and national awards honor small businesses that represent the spirit of innovation in applying information technology in their business practices to improve the customer experience.
U.S. finalists will be announced in May 2008. Questions about the Small Business Excellence Award can be sent to SB_Award@dell.com.
