2026 Torch Awards | Customer Service Award
Nominate the Employee Who Makes
Your Business Look Great
You know the one. The employee your customers ask for by name. Give them the recognition they've earned in front of the whole Central Illinois business community.
The Standard You Hold
Your Team To
Every business has someone like this. The one who arrives early, stays late, and sets a baseline of excellence that lifts everyone around them.
They don't do it for the recognition. They do it because they care deeply about the work, the customers, and the integrity of your operation.
The BBB Torch Awards were created to shine a light on exactly these individuals. It's more than an award—it's a testament to the trust they've built.
