Nominations open for “Idaho Business Leader of the Year”; event to celebrate 53rd anniversary

November 1, 2011
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 (ISU). 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 members annually select the winner, present the award and learn from the process of reviewing examples of distinguished business leadership on which to model 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.

Charley Jones, Co-owner and President of Stinker Stores and affiliated companies, Boise, was the 2011 award recipient. 

Nominations for the 2012 "Idaho Business Leader of the Year" are now open. Forms may be obtained at http://www.isuakpsi.com  or you may choose to complete the online version.

Nominations close on Nov. 25. The winner will be announced at a gala banquet in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center at ISU in early 2012.

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 Shawn Kelsch, 2012 Idaho Business Leader of the Year chairperson, at (208) 282-4245 or by e-mail at kelssha2@isu.edu.
