Corporate nomination
We encourage corporate sponsors to nominate deserving senior level Asian American executives for the "Outstanding 50" award program. The AABDC defers to the nominating corporations to decide which candidate they recognize as significant contributions to the companies as well as active participants in their respective communities.

How is the selection process?
Once we receive your "complete" nomination or entry package, we will forward it to the COMMITTEE for review and selection. The review is based on an individual's distinguished accomplishments, contributions, and leadership qualities.

Is there a fee to enter the award program? Entry to the "Outstanding 50" Asian Americans in Business" award program is free* and open to all eligible Asian American business persons.

Each awardee is required to be present at the dinner ceremony to receive the award. Related costs may include ad or table arrangement.
