FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
BACK TO BASICS WINS COVETED BBB TORCH AWARD FOR BUSINESS ETHICS
Statewide – Back to Basics Learning Dynamics, the tri-state area’s undisputed leader in one-on-one tutoring for
children and adults, was recently recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with the 2010 BBB Torch Award
for exceptional leadership, transparency, and business ethics. An awards ceremony was held at the Hotel DuPont
to honor the Wilmington-based firm, which has been serving the varied educational needs of children through
adults for over 24 years.
The BBB Torch Award is an annual awards program created to gain public recognition for businesses and organizations
that maintain a solid commitment to conducting their business practices in an ethical fashion. The award has become
a signature celebration of business ethics in the marketplace and helps to illuminate the importance of corporate
conscience, responsibility to upholding a fair and honest marketplace, outstanding service, and responsible business
practices.
“Since 1985, Back to Basics’ corporate leadership and caring, capable staff have consistently exhibited the
many traits and characteristics that merit an honor like the BBB Torch Award,” says Susan McNeill, a parent
of a Back to Basics’ student and the nominator responsible for submitting the firm for consideration. “Back to Basics’
incredible success in the education industry simply could not have been achieved without a strict adherence to the
crucial tenets that the BBB seeks to recognize -- trust, transparency, honoring of promises, safeguarding privacy,
and integrity. In business, these traits are admirable -- in an educational institution, these characteristics
are crucial.”
Specific selection criteria for the award covered several key areas including:
- High ethical standards toward customers, suppliers, employees and communities;
- Long-standing history and reputation of ethical practices in the marketplace;
- Marketing and advertising that reflects a true representation of what is offered;
- Acknowledgement of ethical marketplace practices by peers, media and/or community organizations;
- Management practices that give long-term value to shareholders, customers, employees, and vendors, and;
- Examples of prudent growth strategies.
“It is an incredible honor for every one of our 90 tutors and instructors to receive this recognition from
the Better Business Bureau,” says Beverly Stewart, Founder of Back to Basics. “A sincere approach and the commitment
of each staff member to the success of our clients has always been our driving force.”
Founded in 1985, Back to Basics Learning Dynamics began as a sole proprietorship providing one-on-one tutoring.
Since then, the firm has grown into a vibrant, full-service educational facility serving the educational needs
