The Turnaround and Transaction of the Year Awards are the most prestigious awards in the industry.
Recipients of this distinguished honor showcase what TMA members do best -- find value where it was lacking, maximize productivity and profitability in seemingly defunct businesses, and perhaps most importantly, save jobs. The Turnaround and Transaction Awards are chosen based on a rigorous peer-review process. The Awards Committee is carefully composed to represent the diversity of the TMA Membership. As the judges review all components of the entry, they look for well-defined, measurable outcomes. The selection process spans over four months and each committee member is fully dedicated to finding the best 2019 Turnaround and Transaction Award winners!
