Nominating partners are our eyes and ears on the ground, and we rely on you to identify business owners who have an appetite for growth and the potential to strengthen their surrounding communities. ICCC hopes to support your ongoing commitment to creating a sustainable small business ecosystem, and we look forward to partnering with you to offer our program as an additional resource for business owners in your network.

ICCC has created the Nominator Process Packet to best assist you through the nomination process, and it outlines the full nomination and application process, best practices for identifying and nominating business owners, and FAQs.
