Do you know a motivated entrepreneur running a business or organization with a community-minded mission?

The Spark Awards, Awards for Entrepreneurship, recognize business owners 35 years old or younger, or business owners of any age operating for less than three years, who demonstrate a higher level of character, generating a culture that is authentic about its mission and connects with community.

Judges will consider character, culture & community — leaders must be open to new ideas, cultivate an honest and transparent atmosphere, and reinvest or volunteer in their communities.

SOCHE is a sponsor of the 2020 honors.
