The Business Services Award, sponsored by Baird Public Finance, is presented annually to an educational institution in Wisconsin that has implemented a business practice resulting in an improvement in service, increased efficiency, or more simply, a better way of doing business. The improved or new practice may be applied to any specific area of business services, (i.e. finance and budgeting, facilities, transportation, food service, purchasing, inventory control, applied technology, or any other discrete or combined business function.)

The nomination must be submitted by a current member of the Wisconsin Association of School Business Officials who is employed by the educational institution where the improved or new business practice has been implemented.
