The CEED Outstanding Achievement Awards Celebration is one of Michigan’s premier events. For 24 years The Center for Empowerment and Economic Development (CEED) has proudly recognized those that have empowered others or received empowerment from CEED and demonstrate outstanding achievement while yet is supporting the small
business community.

The CEED Outstanding Achievement Award honors members, corporations and partners that mentor others, give of themselves financially or in time to CEED or other business and community organizations. CEED is fortunate that many of our members are successful in their business endeavors; however the exceptional member is willing to give to others while they build their businesses and seek their success. It is easy to continually face forward, but it is courageous to also lend a hand to
someone behind you or beside you. These are the individuals who truly inspire the creation of community and opportunity for all.

There are 4 Outstanding Achievement categories representing each CEED initiative: Business Training and Professional Development (BTPD), Michigan Women’s Business Council (MWBC), Michigan Women’s Marketplace, miwomen.com and the MicroLoan Program. In honor of the partnership with the City of Detroit the Small Business Detroit MicroLoan Program will also recognize its Outstanding Achievers. Other honorary awards include the Corporation of the Year and Partner of the Year
awards.
