We are excited to announce that applications are now open for two prestigious awards recognizing outstanding businesses in our community!

The BBB Ignite Award for Entrepreneurship recognizes emerging businesses that are making a lasting impact through strong leadership, authenticity, and community engagement. This award celebrates entrepreneurs who uphold integrity in business while fostering a culture of trust and innovation.

Honoring the legacy of former BBB NM & SWCO President/CEO Brian Baca, the Brian Baca Memorial Award recognizes veteran-owned businesses that exemplify outstanding ethical practices, strong leadership, and a commitment to community impact. This award highlights the invaluable contributions of veterans in business and their role in fostering trust within the marketplace.

Both awards provide a unique opportunity to showcase businesses that are making a meaningful difference. If you or someone you know fits the criteria, apply today and be recognized for your achievements!

Wow, February already! February is an interesting month. Groundhog Day, President's Day and Valentine's Day. For businesses, February is a combination of closing out the previous year and getting ready for taxes, corporate in March and personal in April. Businesses are also evaluating new messaging and advertising to see if they are going in the right direction. We at the Better Business Bureau believe we can make a difference in the world. We strive to promote business excellence and integrity by focusing on honesty and truth in business practices. Our mission is to mediate between businesses and consumers, fostering a marketplace where both stakeholders trust each other. The Better Business Bureau loves business, it's in our name. We love small businesses, medium businesses and large businesses (all have unique needs). We love tech companies, contractors, retailers, restaurants, any place where a transaction happens. The BBB is fortunate as a non-profit to put all our efforts into programs to meet our mission. Accredited Businesses such as yourself make this mission a reality. Thank you for your support and we hope our programs and services are being fully utilized by your enterprise. Please let us know if we can do something better or you need help leveraging all your benefits. Hopefully, you celebrate Valentine's Day with your loved one other than experiencing Groundhog Day, over and over again!
