At the Annual BIG Membership Banquet, the Bayou Industrial Group presents “BIG Achiever Awards” to selected members who, through non-compensatory, voluntary efforts, exemplify BIG’s mission to grow and strengthen the Bayou Region. Efforts may include, but are not limited to, activities related to coastal restoration/protection, infrastructure, education, economic development, and/or community development.
Each year, one award may be presented to a company/organization member and one award may be presented to an individual member. Nominations are submitted by fellow BIG members or the nominees themselves.
