SELECTION COMMITTEE
Child Care Biz Help has partnered with several child care center owners and leaders to create a committee that reviews the materials submitted on each candidate and selects those candidates who are deemed most deserving of recognition and whose achievements most closely fit the category for which they have been nominated. The committee often invites consulting members to assist in its deliberations. Individuals chosen to receive awards are honored each year during an online ceremony and will be recognized at future Child Care Biz Help events.
