Judging Criteria
What Our Judges Look For
Every Professional Index recognition program begins with the people behind the accomplishment.
Our judging team considers a broad range of qualities when reviewing nominees. There is no single definition of professional excellence, and success is not measured by one number alone.
We look for qualities including:
Leadership and professionalism
Commitment to clients, patients, customers, or communities
Business growth and entrepreneurship
Innovation and forward thinking
Industry contribution
Reputation and integrity
Resilience and perseverance
Team development and job creation
Community involvement
A demonstrated commitment to raising the standard within their profession
Some nominees have built established organizations. Others are emerging professionals who are already making a remarkable impact.
What matters is the story behind the individual, the work they have done, and the influence they are having within their industry.
