Once again, we conduct our Best in the Biz survey to identify and honor top professionals who do such great work in our industry. Who are the best, and WHY?

This year we have 25 categories, and NARIP Members get to nominate. Once nominees are in, NARIP Members vote on the Top Ten in each category. We announce winners in January 2015.

DEADLINE TO NOMINATE: Wed Dec 31 at midnight (Pacific).

Please take three minutes to nominate outstanding folks in any or all of the categories. You may fill in more than one name per category and skip categories. Please include the company name of each nominee and your specific reason(s) or criteria why he or she deserves to be nominated (“he is great” will not receive much weight).

If we're missing any important categories, please let us know. You'll see a space for this below.

Please click HERE to nominate NOW.

IMPORTANT: Entries without that do not include reasons why will NOT be included in nominations

YOUR PRIVACY

For your vote to count, you must include your NARIP username, name and a valid email address. Your privacy is respected and this information is not shared.

Any obvious block voting will result in a nomination being thrown out.
