About The AwardsThe Bryan Rotary Club/Newman 10 Business Performance Awards, in cooperation with the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce, was established in 1994 to spotlight successful small businesses for the significant contributions and economic impact they have on the Brazos Valley. The top 10 private companies, ranked on sales growth over a five-year period, earn recognition throughout the area for their sales growth and job creation. The Selection ProcessPatterned after the Inc. 500 program, a company must be an independent, privately-held corporation, proprietorship, or partnership (subsidiaries, divisions, holding companies, regulated banks and utilities are not eligible). It also must be located in Brazos County, have had sales of more than $50,000 but less than $25 million in fiscal 2006, and show a five-year sales history with an increase from fiscal 2009 to 2010. Nominated companies will receive an application (PDF) to submit competition information. The Lowry Mays College & Graduate School of Business at Texas A&M University calculates the sales growth for each of the qualifying applicants, ranks the top 10 companies based on the percentage increase in sales, and then verifies the sales figures.
