The Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award was created to help Texans expand their vision of what is possible. Best practices often come from other businesses, in other industries, as a result of different perspectives.
Below are Texas businesses and their leaders who have been nominated for their pursuit of excellence. Not all will be recipients of the Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award, but they are all winners – not only for what they have accomplished, but for establishing themselves as leaders in their own pursuit of excellence and improvement journey.
The videos provide an initial chance to share their story and are part of our evaluation process. Each of these nominees provide lessons learned and pearls of wisdom to inspire others to improve and pursue their own journey of excellence. We invite you to learn more about these nominees as we work to find the very best in Texas.
We also invite you to meet these business leaders and many more at our Executive Summit & Awards Event on October 26, 2020. Become a Partner, attendee, project leader, volunteer or more. Explore the possibilities HERE.
Nominations for 2022 are now closed. We are accepting nominations for 2023 HERE .
