Minority-owned small business cannot be a direct competitor to existing Sponsor clients (to be determined by the selection committee). Employees submitting to this Initiative must have prior approval of the owner of the business. Void where prohibited by law. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.

4. SELECTION: Submissions will be selected as follows: A selection panel comprising Sponsor employees will review all submissions to determine eligibility before submitting their selections to the Executive Selection Committee for final selection. The Sponsor may reach out to up to three finalists for a phone discussion in advance of making a final selection. If your submission is not selected in the business quarter you completed it, we will retain your submission for one year and may select it at a later date. Submissions will be selected based on:
   (i.) Strong rationale for the Sponsor’s services (as detailed in the applicant’s submission form)

   (iii.) Ability of the Sponsor to deliver the proposed services within approximately 90 days of offer acceptance
5. OFFER: At least one (1) minority-owned small business will be selected by the Sponsor annually to receive up to $60,000 in agency services. Any out-of-pocket expenses and any additional fees not covered by the initial agency services are the responsibility of the selected business. Out-of-pocket expenses may include anything not covered by agency hours (e.g., printing, photography licensing, voiceover talent). Any out-of-pocket expenses or additional fees beyond the agency services will be presented and agreed upon by the selected business before billing. Offer is not transferable or redeemable for cash. No substitution for offer. If applicable, any taxes are the responsibility of the selected business. Offer must be accepted within 30 days after it is awarded. Any services provided therein must be completed by the Sponsor within an agreed-upon time.
6. VALIDATION: A selected business will be determined each calendar quarter and notified by the Sponsor, and its decision is final on all aspects of the Initiative. The selected business will be notified by email or phone and required to complete an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Liability/Publicity Release, both of which must be returned via mail or email within fourteen (14) days of the date and time of notification or the offer will be forfeited.
7.
