First, the definition of a Small Business Influencer<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

A small business influencer is a person, company or other organization that has made a meaningful and lasting impact on the North American small business market.<\/p>\n

Do you know a person, company, or other organization that has made a major impact in the small business market?<\/p>\n

If so, here's your chance to make sure that they receive recognition!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The "Small Business Influencer 2011<\/strong>" is being produced by Small Business Trends<\/a><\/strong> and Small Biz Technology<\/a><\/strong> and is brought to you by Blackberry<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It's now in Phase I, and it's where you<\/em> nominate influencers. In Phases 2 and 3, you and an all-star judging panel<\/a><\/strong> will vote for the top 100<\/strong>. It all culminates with honoring the Top 100 Small Business Influencers<\/strong> in mid-August 2011, with an awards dinner to follow on September 13, 2011.<\/p>\n

The list of nominees is already quite impressive, and I'm very excited to be involved in this small business contest. (I'm one of the judges.<\/em>)<\/p>\n
