La Prima Catering Named 2013 National Capitol Business Ethics Award Semifinalist
College Park, MD (PRWEB) September 05, 2013 -- La Prima Catering, a full-service company offering corporate and special events catering, has been named a semifinalist in the prestigious 2013 National Capitol Business Ethics Awards.
La Prima was nominated by Capitol Concierge, a business partner for more than 20 years and the winner of the top NCBEA award in 2012. The rigorous application process involved a detailed review of La Prima’s business practices and commitment to ethics; lengthy interviews by senior level business ethics students from George Mason University; and a three-hour interview with the NCBEA’s judges: Susan Koch, an award winning DC-area HR professional, and Steven Potts, Director of the US Office of Government Ethics under Presidents Bush and Clinton.
“We are extremely proud of this award, which recognizes our company for doing the right thing by our customers, our team members and our vendor partners, day in and day out,” said La Prima President Dave Evans. “I could not be prouder of any award we’ve received, and credit the integrity and commitment of our outstanding employees for this recognition.”
La Prima’s commitment goes beyond traditional business ethics. The company has devoted extensive efforts to improving its environmental impacts and to providing earth-friendly, sustainable food service. La Prima and its special events division, Catering by Seasons, won the Maryland Green Registry Leadership Award this year, as well as 3-Star Certification by the Green Restaurant Association for its commitment to sustainable practices. La Prima is rated the greenest caterer in the entire DC metro region.
The NCBEA Awards will be presented at a banquet on October 24. The 2013 top winner will be announced from among the semi-finalists at that event.
