The Boards of Distinguished Judges & Advisors

Preliminary judging of The 2010 American Business Awards was conducted in April-May by business professionals nationwide.  Their average scores determined the Finalists.

The 2010 ABAs will feature two judging boards, including one just for the media section categories. The participation and counsel of our judges and advisors - all of whom are leaders in the American business community - have helped establish The American Business Awards as the preeminent business awards show. They conduct the final judging to determine the Stevie Award winner in each category.
