The Small Business Leadership Award was established by William Carey University and the Area Development Partnership in 1990 to recognize the important contributions small businesses make to the economic, social and cultural life of the community and the particular achievements of one individual or family. The award is given in memory of Dr. Joe Roberts, former professor of communications at William Carey University. Dr. Roberts was also a successful businessman and one of the founders of Aycock-Roberts Furniture.

The Small Business Leadership Award recognizes outstanding ADP-member small businesses within Greater Hattiesburg. These businesses have helped pave the way for the area through community involvement, leadership and exceptional service. Small businesses make up an integral part of the Area Development Partnership, and Greater Hattiesburg as a whole. Their contributions may seem small when compared with those of our area’s top employers, but they are certainly not overlooked.

If you know a small business deserving of this recognition, please submit their name for consideration. Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2016 Small Business Leadership Award. You can nominate a small business at www.TheADP.com. All nominations must be received by 5:00 p.m. on February 26, 2016. Candidates may self-nominate.
