Providing Well Deserved Recognition
Anyone who runs a business has a story to tell. Their story, like their business, is probably held together by perseverance, dedication, creativity and resourcefulness. Many business owners today are so busy running their businesses that they seldom take time to reflect on their history.
 The Blue Chip Business Award Program encourages business owners to celebrate their journey by sharing their story. We want to hear about the challenges that were overcome, the opportunities that were seized and the triumphs that were achieved. More importantly, we want an opportunity to publicly recognize their achievements by presenting the coveted Blue Chip Business Award.
The award, a symbol of strength and dedication, is given to a select group of companies each year. Recipients are selected by an independent panel of prestigious judges as embodying the spirit of business success. Click Here to learn more about the judging process.
Many past recipients report that the recognition and publicity they received led the to significant opportunities for business growth. They join an elite group that works together providing valuable support and advise. Click here to read testimonials from past winners.
A History of Success
The program, organized locally by Indianapolis Financial Group, began in 1990 and locally hundreds of companies have participated. Originally founded nationally by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company(MassMutual), the local competition has become a model for other regions. The program has expanded each year.
 Over the course of the program, industries from computer technology to construction, financial services to medical services, and many more have been recognized. In 2002 an advisory board was created to provide guidance on issues that affect the program. Each of the nine board members is a previous Blue Chip Business Award winner.
Expanding Beyond Awards
In 2003 the program established a series of four workshops. The workshops are available only to past award recipients and deal with issues that the board deemed relevant to the group. Topics include issues such as succession planning and controlling healthcare costs. By continually expanding the program the Blue Chip Business Award has grown from just recognition to a resource program for business owners.
