Overview & audience
Originating in 1988, the OSU Excellence in Family Business Awards were the nation’s first competitive, peer-reviewed awards focused solely on the accomplishments of family-owned businesses. Unlike other programs, the awards recognize businesses across all industries, regardless of size or revenue if they meet the basic criteria of being a family business and demonstrating excellence in family business principles. Over the years the program has honored a wide variety of family firms.
A network of more than 5,000 individuals are invited to recognize and honor Oregon’s leading family-owned businesses.
