The 2007 inaugural SASIE (Southern Arizona Smart Inspiring Enterprise) Awards broke the mold for business accolades in Tucson and in 2008 the tradition of prestige and glamour continued.
From more than a 250 nominations, 46 of Southern Arizona’s finest businesses were in the final round of judging for the 2008 SASIE Awards. Between them they provide more than 4000 jobs and their turnover for 2007 was more than $416 million..
