The Connor Group has been named a finalist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s 2026 Citizens Awards, a national program recognizing businesses that use their talent, resources and expertise to improve communities.
The Connor Group is one of four companies nationwide selected as a finalist for the Best Corporate Steward: Small and Middle-Market Business award. The recognition highlights our belief that if you are successful, you have a responsibility to give back.
For more than 25 years, the Citizens Awards have recognized businesses for their leadership in addressing challenges facing communities. This year, 37 organizations were named finalists across nine categories, including Delta Air Lines, UPS, Allstate, State Farm and FedEx.
We believe strong business performance and community impact are directly connected. Associates across the company do their jobs at an elite level, supporting our nonprofit arm, Kids & Community Partners.
Our purpose is to expand opportunities for under-resourced students, adults with cognitive differences and young people through programs like Greater Schools, Colin’s Lodge and Connor Kids Academy. Each initiative is built and managed with the same accountability, high expectations and long-term thinking that guide our business.
Winners of the 2026 Citizens Awards will be announced during the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Business Solves Conference in Washington, D.C.
