Title:
2018 Business of the Year
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to select the 2018 Ramsey Business of the Year, an annual selection made by the EDA.
The Ramsey Business of the Year is selected from a list of 3-6 candidates (known as the "small list"). The purpose of the small list is to narrow down the voting/ analysis process to a small pool of candidates. Said candidates are asked to answer a set of questions that demonstrate their exemplary standing in each of these four categories: length of tenure in Ramsey, number of employees/job creation, community involvement, and what makes them innovative and unique. The small list makes for a more efficient and effective process for the EDA.
The small list of candidates is derived from a "large list." The large list was updated by the EDA in 2016. Both lists are attached to this case.

Recommendation:
