Purpose

The Chewning Award was established by the Christian Business Faculty Association to perpetuate the passion and commitment of integrating personal faith and business as modeled by Dr. Richard C. Chewning (more about Dr. Chewning). The award is bestowed no more than once annually to reinforce and encourage deserving individuals and to make their successes known among colleagues, students and the world-at-large.

Sponsor

The initial endowment for this award was provided by the ServiceMaster Corporation under the leadership of its CEO, William Pollard.
