Entries were judged on written responses regarding sales and earnings from local business units for the past five years, why 2007 was a noteworthy year for the business, the company’s strategic plan for the business for the next five years, community service projects or charitable contributions the company made, how the company formally measures customer satisfaction and loyalty, management’s relationship with employees, and other examples of leadership.
