Nominations now open for 51st ‘Idaho Business Leader of the Year’ recognition

October 9, 2009
ISU Marketing and Communications

Nominations are now open for “Idaho Business Leader of the Year.” The award, made annually since 1959, is presented by the Delta Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi at Idaho State University. Alpha Kappa Psi is recognized as the premier developer of business leaders and is the oldest professional business fraternity in the nation.

 Alpha Kappa Psi volunteers annually select the winner, present the award and learn from the process of reviewing distinguished examples of business leadership from which to model and pattern their careers.

The award annually recognizes an Idaho business leader who has demonstrated outstanding business and professional ethics while contributing significant support to worthwhile community, civic and education activities. The recognition program is the longest-standing such program in Idaho.

 Douglas A. Sayer, CEO and President of Premier Technology, Inc., Blackfoot, was the 2009 award recipient. 

 Nominations for the 2010 “Idaho Business Leader of the Year” are now open and forms may be obtained at http://www.freewebs.com/alphakappapsiisu/aboutibloy.htm.

 Nominations close on November 6. The winner will be announced at a gala banquet in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center at ISU in early 2010.

 Anyone may submit nominations to honor business leaders and positively influence the development of the future principled business leaders of Alpha Kappa Psi.

 For more information, please contact Mickenzie Bringhurst, 2010 Idaho Business Leader of the Year chairperson, at (208) 380-2000 or by e-mail at stuamick@isu.edu.
