Jay Breeden, President of Catholic Faith Technologies and CD2 Learning, a Nelnet company, was named a bronze winner of a Stevie® Award in the Education Hero of the Year category in The 19th Annual American Business Awards® today.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit, and non-profit, large and small.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” the awards will be virtually presented to winners during a live event on Wednesday, June 30. Tickets for the virtual event are now on sale.
More than 3,800 nominations – a record number – from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Virtual Event of the Year, and App of the Year, among others.
“This award is especially meaningful at this time,” said Becky Pollock, Managing Director at Nelnet Business Services. “The basis of Jay’s nomination was Catholic Faith Technologies’ pandemic response. As an online platform serving the Catholic Church, Jay realized students in religious education programs were going to lose access to learning. This would have been especially difficult for those students working toward First Holy Communion or Confirmation. He immediately reached out and offered our online formation for free. Over 1,000 organizations signed up to prevent formation from being disrupted. Our appreciation to the American Business Awards and Stevies for recognizing Jay’s efforts and congratulations to the many other deserving organizations and winners.”
More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.
“The American economy continues to show its resilience, and as we’re poised on the beginning of what should be a phenomenal period of growth, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of a wide range of organizations and people over the past 18 months,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher. “This year’s Stevie-winning nominations in The American Business Awards are testament to the ingenuity, the commitment, the passion, the adaptability, and the creativity of the American people. We look forward to celebrating this year’s winners during our virtual ceremony on June 30.”
