Past Business Information Professional of the Year Awards


In an effort to recognize significant contributions made to the business information profession, Beta Alpha Psi honors worthy individuals. From 1974 through 1999, this was achieved by recognizing them as Accountants of the Year. Beginning with the 2000 awards, these individuals have been honored and recognized as Business Information Professional of the Year. Each local chapter, the Board of Directors and the International Advisory Forum are invited to nominate candidates from the fields of professional services, education and industry or government. Nominees are individuals who have affected a large number of lives, contributed both locally and nationally to the profession, added to knowledge as demonstrated through publications, lectures or presentations, and must be active in the profession at the time of nomination.
