Why Top Company Matters
Top Company is the most rigorous, important, and rewarding event of its kind. The mission of Top Company is to recognize Colorado's most outstanding businesses while providing for a tough but fair competition.

New this year, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Top Company awards program, a Non-Profit category will be added to the competition, in addition to the nine business segments currently contested.
Colorado-based non-profit organizations can now submit nominations to Top Company and be evaluated along with other like organizations, enabling the awards program to recognize excellence in this important category alongside the best for-profit businesses in the state. Please see the criteria for entry by downloading the nomination form.
Finalists and winners will be recognized at an Academy-award style gala luncheon in September of '07. 7NEWS Anchorwoman Anne Trujillo will host the event. It's the perfect venue to celebrate organizational excellence with customers, prospects, employees, and business partners.
