Carolyn Kling and our Green Barley Nutrition Center were named as a finalist for Better Business Bureau Integrity Counts! Award. On October 29, around 1,000 people gathered for the gala banquet in the Boise Convention Center as the Better Business Bureau of Southwest Idaho honored local businesses for their integrity in their business practices. After undergoing a lengthy and difficult submission process, Green Barley Nutrition Center, was chosen for their dedication to practicing the highest ethical standards.

After being presented with a beautiful etched glass award, Nora Carpenter, executive director commented, "It is a pleasure to recognize local organizations for their commitment to their customers, employees, vendors, and their community. The wave of corporate scandal has reinforced our long-held belief that business success results from the daily practice of ethics and integrity to all stakeholders.

Here are some excerpts from letters Carolyn has received which were used as part of the submission process:
