Like all sustained corporate citizenship programs, the BCLC Awards have gone through slight modifications in design and execution based on best practices and lessons learned. In reflection of the last decade of growth and refinement in the corporate citizenship field, BCLC is pleased to announce the new category names for The Citizens:
Best Business Neighbor (Formerly the U.S. Community Service Award)
Best International Ambassador (Formerly the International Community Service Award)
Best Partnership (Formerly the Partnership Award)
Best Corporate Steward (Formerly the Corporate Stewardship Award)
