The 2015 American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: Monday’s banquet in Chicago, and at the new products awards banquet on Friday, September 11 in San Francisco.
More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Live Event of the Year, and Human Resources Department of the Year, among others. LABUR’S Dessa Payne was nominated in the Support Staffer of the Year category.
Described as having “the best bed side manners in finance and administrative functions north of the Mason Dixon” by her employer, LABUR, a business and technology staffing and consulting firm out of Boston, Payne handles all financial correspondence on behalf of LABUR’S consultants, including the collection of all tax information and documentation, payment and record keeping. She also handles all HR related duties for both internal and external consultants, in addition to A/P, A/R and billing for the firm.
“We are incredibly proud of this acknowledgement, and we’re so grateful for people like Dessa,” said LABUR COO Seth Burr. “Among a variety of other critical tasks, Dessa ensures all of our consultants are paid accurately and on time. Without her, our organization could not function nearly as smoothly or efficiently—and she does everything with a smile. She’s our rock.”
More than 200 executives worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.
“We are extremely impressed with the quality of the entries we received this year. The competition was intense and every organization that won should be proud,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “To those outstanding individuals and organizations that received Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Awards, the judges and I are honored to celebrate your many accomplishments.
