Honoring the best of direct selling, DSA's ETHOS Awards recognize member companies with programs that empower independent direct sellers, and therefore fuel business processes. The Rising Star award recognizes up-and-coming direct selling companies that are dedicated to achieving a high standard of excellence in business opportunities.
"We are honored that DSA has recognized Viridian Energy as this year's Rising Star, the most coveted recognition a young company in the network marketing channel can ever hope to receive," said Meredith Berkich, SVP of Viridian Network. "We believe our associates are, in large part, the people to thank for this recognition. Their belief in us and our mission makes it our goal as Viridian direct selling executives to empower these courageous entrepreneurs with steadfast vision, a unique selling proposition, high quality support tools, comprehensive education, and a lucrative time/value proposition."
Viridian was one of three finalists in the Rising Star category. Finalists in this category have been active members of DSA for at least a year, and started direct selling operations less than five years ago. Each company has illustrated a commitment to the DSA Code of Ethics, and shows a consistent and continued pattern of growth. Rising Star finalists demonstrate a well-rounded business strategy including projections for growth in sales, salesforce and activities like charitable giving.
"DSA congratulates all 2012 ETHOS Award winners for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to direct selling," said DSA President Joseph Mariano. "These programs are excellent examples of the creativity and innovation that continue to drive our industry."
Viridian Energy has been a member of the DSA since 2010.
