Each year, Springfield Business Journal and United Community Bank sponsor an awards program that recognizes the Best Places to Work in our community. This awards program is unique, because it requires employees to nominate their own company.

The criteria include:

  • Must have been in business at least two years
  • Be located in Sangamon or Morgan county
  • Have 16 or more employees (those with 15 or fewer are eligible for our small business awards program, 15 Under Fifteen)

Feb. 1 is the deadline to make a nomination for the 2026 awards. The winning companies will be profiled in the April issue of SBJ and all the employees are invited to a reception and awards ceremony. If you think your company or organization is one of the Best Places to Work, make a nomination today.

Michelle Ownbey is the publisher of Springfield Business Journal and Illinois Times.
