This is just a reminder that nominations for our our annual “Champion of Small Business Technology Commercialization” Awards close next Friday, June 14. If you would like to nominate a PEO, PM, CO, or other worker in government for their work and effort in helping your company transition or commercialize its SBIR-funded technology and haven’t done so already, please download the nomination form below, fill it out, and send it to alec@sbtc.org.  The nominations will be reviewed by a panel of experts, and winners will be announced shortly thereafter.
