The John L. Green Award for Excellence in Business Education
The John L. Green Award for Excellence in Business Education honors individuals who have made significant contributions that advance the cause of academic quality in business education in a manner consistent with the IACBE’s "Characteristics of Excellence in Business Education."
The award is named for Dr. John L. Green, Jr., President Emeritus of the IACBE, who spent most of his life helping others to achieve excellence in business education. Dr. Green’s vision was that small- and medium-sized business schools with teaching-oriented missions could be recognized for their excellence. To that end, Dr. Green founded two business accrediting associations: the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) in 1989, and the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) in 1997. In doing so, Dr. Green made business accreditation possible for hundreds of institutions worldwide that previously had no opportunities for specialized accreditation in business.
The recipient of the award is chosen based on the following qualifications:
