New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) was named the winner of a Gold and Silver Stevie® Award in the (Gold Winner) Company of the Year – Diversified Services – Small and (Silver Winner) Organization of the Year – Non-Profit or Government Organizations – Medium-size category in The 17th Annual International Business Awards® on September 10.
The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2020 IBAs received entries from organizations in 63 nations and territories.
As the ongoing COVID-19 crisis will prevent winners from receiving their awards on stage during a traditional gala IBA banquet, winners will be celebrated instead during a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, December 1.
More than 3,800 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year and Executive of the Year, among others. This year’s competition also featured a number of free-to-enter categories to recognize organizations’ and individuals’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Heights Educational Group continues its eight-year winning streak, earning its 7th award this year. Pamela Clark, Executive Director of NHEG, stated, “Our success reflects the work of many past and current volunteers who saw a need in education reform and providing educational opportunities to families from all backgrounds. It reflects the sacrifice of my family and their support of this dream of mine. Many said it couldn’t be done, or we would fail. We are here to stay, and to help families change their futures for the better through reaching their educational aspirations. Thank you to all those volunteers, families served, my family and judges who see a value in our incredible work.”
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from July through early September.
“Despite the unprecedented impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on organizations and working people worldwide, the number and quality of nominations we received in this year’s International Business Awards attests to the continued outstanding performance of many organizations. The commitment we’ve seen through these nominations to maintaining the success, health, and safety of employees, customers, and communities is truly impressive,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher.
