OABA to Honor Professionalism, Stewardship and Excellence in Agribusiness

The organization recognizes its professionals with industry excellence awards

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) will recognize outstanding leaders in the agribusiness industry through the OABA Industry Excellence Awards.

OABA has a distinguished history of providing educational opportunities to its member companies and their employees. The Industry Excellence Awards are OABA’s next step to recognizing stories of professionalism, stewardship and excellence within the agribusiness industry.

“Our industry is filled with stories of outstanding leaders who go above and beyond for their companies and customers,” said Chris Henney, president and CEO of OABA. “Through these awards, we can honor the excellence and professionalism of those leaders and inspire others.”

Members are now able to nominate their employees for three award opportunities: Achievement as an Emerging Leader, Excellence in Customer Service and Excellence in Safety & Stewardship.

Award recipients will be recognized at the 2019 OABA Industry Conference on Jan. 31. Winners will receive complimentary registration and lodging for the conference, recognition in industry publications and a $1,000 cash award.

Nominations must be submitted by Sept. 20 to Ohio Agribusiness Association, 5151 Reed Road, Suite 126-C, Columbus, Ohio, 43220. To nominate an employee, visit oaba.net/awards to download the applications. For additional information, contact Nicole Wallace at (614) 326-7520 or nwallace@oaba.net.
